Dagenham & Redbridge 0-3 Cambridge United
- From the section Football
Robbie Simpson came off the bench to score a double and help Cambridge United to an easy win over managerless strugglers Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Daggers had the better of the first half with Jamie Cureton and Kyle Vassell both shooting narrowly wide.
The visitors took the lead when Luke Berry's deflected cross was headed home by Simpson with his first touch.
Simpson hammered home a free-kick and Barry Corr headed in to give the U's a fourth win in five League Two matches.
Dagenham & Redbridge coach Darren Currie told BBC Radio London:

"It's been difficult for everyone concerned. The club traditionally backs their managers so they've had to do something that they're not familiar with this week.
"We've obviously been left with the responsibility this week of preparing the boys for the game and the lads have been disappointed because they've lost a manager that they liked.
"I feel like we say the same things all the time. We've had one or two opportunities, we haven't taken them and then in the second half you're asking for a minimum of a repeat performance and we end up losing 3-0 quite comfortably in the end."
