Oxford United cruised to a 4-0 victory against Cheltenham Town after a dominant second half display at the Kassam Stadium.
Leo Snowden and Jeon Jin-woo both scored their first goals for the club whilst Gatlin O'Donkor bagged a second half brace in the Jersey Mike's Trophy.
A goalless first half preceded a perfect second-half performance as Aaron Ramsey's side ruled over the Robins in front of the lowest ever attendance at the Kassam (860).
Academy graduate Snowden bagged his first professional goal whilst Jin-woo shone on his return from injury.
A cagey first few minutes saw Sam Long block a dig from Jacob Bickerstaff.
The U's tried to hurt the Robins on the flanks, Aidomo Emakhu with a trio of crosses cleared as Ruben Roosken struggled to get past Ryan Broom.
Two saves from Jamie Cumming kept the scored level, pushing a low shot from Archie Hill wide with a good stop before denying Jack Robinson from inside the box.
A trademark Cameron Brannagan long-range attempt was blocked shortly after, Snowden putting the rebound wide of the far post.
Oxford's possession remained fruitless as the clock ticked, Harrison Bradney seeing an effort blocked before another Brannagan shot was directed wide.
A couple more foiled attempts from the captain and Emakhu concluded the goalless first period, Oxford starting the second energised.
Full debutant Louis Griffiths put a deflected shot looping over the crossbar before Peter Kioso pulled a volley well wide.
Another blocked Bradney drive at goal preceded the opener, Roosken putting the ball across to Snowden, the Cheltenham defender failing to clear as the 18-year-old swept home unmarked from close range for his first professional goal.
Gatlin O'Donkor squandered a huge chance to double the lead, taking a poor touch when rounding the goalkeeper at the edge of the area, his shot then hitting the keeper and getting off the line by a defender.
The Yellows kept coming, Snowden striking the post after beating his man impressively and darting into the box.
Tyler Goodrham and Bradney both had efforts denied before O'Donkor found a second.
An inch-perfect cross from Aidan Elliott-Wheeler found the striker who headed into the net.
James Golding almost found a third with a header in the box saved before Jin-woo, who made his first appearance of the season after returning from injury, was denied.
Moments later, the South Korean scored his first competitive U's goal, lashing into the top corner after a neat turn just outside the box.
A rare Robins effort flew over from George Miller before O'Donkor bagged his side's fourth with a diving header from Snowden's cross.
