Jimmy Knowles, Jacob Hazel and Zak Mills fired Boston United to a comprehensive away win on Tuesday evening.
The Pilgrims were 3-0 victors over Yeovil Town at Huish Park – with Knowles and Hazel on target in a decisive four-minute spell before the break.
Mills wrapped up all three points with United’s third in the 63rd minute – as the Pilgrims made it three away wins in a row.
Defender Jacob Scott was handed his National League debut ahead of kick-off, while Martin Woods returned to Graham Coughlan’s midfield.
The Pilgrims felt a frustrating evening developing, with Dylan Hill rattling the post, Knowles clipping the crossbar and ex-Pilgrim Aidan Stone making a stunning save to deny Cameron Green.
United finally went ahead in the 38th minute when Hazel played strike partner KNOWLES into the clear and the Accrington Stanley loanee beat Stone with a low drive to put the visitors in front.
Hill subsequently teed up HAZEL four minutes later and his angled drive flew past Stone to double the Pilgrims’ advantage.
Yeovil introduced a pair of second half substitutes but moments after making their own change with Keaton Ward replacing Woods, United added their third goal when Brad Nicholson’s long throw landed in the six-yard box and MILLS converted from close-range.
The Glovers threw plenty forward in the closing stages, with substitute Jahmari Clarke going closest when he lifted a 12-yard drive over the top following Sonny-Blu Lo Everton’s cross from the right. The Pilgrims were, however, long since home and hosed.
