Harry Smith's brace helped Leyton Orient into the third round of the FA Cup as they eased past Tranmere at Brisbane Road.
The Londoners were rewarded for a totally dominant first-half performance with a two-goal lead at the interval.
Hector Kyprianou produced a defence-splitting pass for Smith who coolly sent the ball past the advancing keeper into the corner of the net after 22 minutes.
Orient doubled the lead after 36 minutes following a corner when Aaron Drinan pulled the ball back for Omar Beckles to slot home.
The visitors had been anonymous before the break and the pattern of play continued in the second period.
Drinan took his tally for the season to 11 goals when he scored from the penalty spot on the hour after Peter Clarke had handled the striker's shot.
Smith completed the rout after 83 minutes when he stabbed home a Kyprianou cross to record his 11th goal of the campaign.
