Scarborough Athletic returned to winning ways in style on Saturday and moved back into the National North play-off spots.
After a goal-less first half, Jono Greening's men impressed, after the break, with four goals netted and no reply from hosts Peterborough Sports.
Dom Tear broke the deadlock around the hour mark.
Kieran Weledji then banished the memory of Tuesday's red card with the second goal, within five minutes.
A pair of penalties then put the result beyond doubt late on.
Richie Bennett continued his return to full fitness with a 72nd-minute spot-kick.
Rio Allan then converted from 12 yards, in the final minute.
Here's the best of the action, as described by Will Baines on This Is The Coast Extra:
Boro are now back up to sixth spot, above Darlington, in the table.
Greening spoke to SAFC TV after the final whistle:
"Yeah, obviously it was needed after the result midweek which we weren't happy about. I sent them a long message on Wednesday, telling them it was fish and chip paper, water under the bridge, and we need to concentrate on today's game, which we knew was going to be hard. Just said to them, listen, whatever happens today, we're going to have to battle and they really get in your face, really compete all over the pitch.
In the first half, we had two or three half chances. But at half-time, we were nice and relaxed about it and just said, listen, this game's there for us to take if we want it. And second half we were superb and we scored four goals. Obviously good to have Benno [Richie Bennett] back in the team because against teams like this, especially, it really helps us. Because he can win balls, flick on and can link a player really well. And I thought Dom [Tear] and Luca [Colville] were excellent just in behind today. I thought both of them played really well."
