Ryan Taylor scored a brace as Oxford United thrashed nine-man Stevenage.
Taylor opened the scoring before Chris Whelpdale levelled with a 30-yard chip.
Boro keeper Jesse Joronen saved Liam Sercombe's penalty after Dean Parrett's foul, but could not save Sercombe's second spot-kick, as Jamie McCombe was sent off for hauling Danny Hylton down.
Alex MacDonald notched the third before Michael Tonge saw red for a two-footed challenge, and Taylor and Kemar Roofe completed the rout with further goals.
