Marc Richards and Kaid Mohamed score twice as Northampton recover from an early Hartlepool goal to win 5-1.
Charlie Wyke gave the visitors a first-minute lead before the goals flew in at the other end.
Richards equalised with a penalty before Mohamed beat Scott Flinders from 10 yards and then headed the third.
Lawson D'Ath made it four from close range before ex-Chesterfield striker Richards completed a comprehensive win after good work by Mohamed.
