Leyton Orient kept their slim chances of automatic promotion alive with an impressive win against Gillingham.
David Mooney's angled shot opened the scoring and Dean Cox's volley made it 2-0 inside the opening 10 minutes.
The game was over as a contest when Kevin Lisbie fired in Moses Odubajo's cross and then, a minute later, pounced on a mistake to tee-up Mooney's second.
Chris Dagnall beat three players to add a fifth before Craig Fagan scored the Gills a late, close-range consolation.
The win was Orient's first in six matches and mathematically secures them at least a play-off spot.
