Oxford United secured a record-breaking away win as Karl Robinson’s side thumped Lincoln City 6-0 at Sincil Bank.
It’s the U’s biggest away victory in the Football League, and it was a sensational performance from the side.
Oxford started brightly and found the net after just five minutes when Tariqe Fosu struck home from 20 yards.
Lincoln struggled to get themselves into the game and Fosu added a second before the break, latching on to a terrific ball from Ben Woodburn before rounding the goalkeeper.
Lincoln had their first shot on the stroke of half time, but it was comfortable for Simon Eastwood to deal with.
The second half saw an already eager U’s side find another gear, and Jamie Mackie added a third just a few minutes in, curling home brilliantly.
Minutes later, James Henry added a fourth when Woodburn’s shot was blocked before the midfielder volleyed home.
Fosu completed a thoroughly deserved hat trick soon after, running freely in the opponents half before finding the top corner from 30 yards.
Second-half substitute Matty Taylor netted his first U’s goal since returning to the club on loan to seal a record-breaking away day.
Robinson’s side are now three games unbeaten, picking up seven points from a possible nine.
Not only that, but his side have scored nine goals in those games and have kept three successive clean sheets.
The U’s welcome West Ham United to the Kassam Stadium on Wednesday night in the third round of the Carabao Cup before welcoming Gillingham in the league.
