Notts County hammered struggling Yeovil 4-1 to maintain their chances of automatic promotion in League Two.
Victory took the Magpies to within two points of third-placed Wycombe with two games left to play.
And it was a brilliant second-half performance that inspired the home side to three points, with an own goal from Tom James and strikes from Elliott Hewitt and Lewis Alessandra adding to Dan Jones' opener.
Jonathan Forte came close with an early effort for County while Yeovil's Lewis Wing saw a 20-yard shot saved by Adam Collin before Alex Fisher headed wide after a defensive mix-up.
The home side took the lead in first-half stoppage time, with Jones' shot from the edge of the area deflecting past the helpless Jonny Maddison.
After the break, James blasted a pass from Liam Noble into his own net and in the 70th minute, Hewitt cut in from the left before coolly slotting past Maddison.
Alessandra scored a fourth in the 73rd minute, dribbling past two defenders before netting from close range.
Fisher pulled a late goal back for Yeovil from a free-kick.
