Stockton Town produced a five-star performance at Whitby Town to pick up their first away win of the season.
Goals from Kian Foreman, Josh Baggs and Owen Gallacher had Stockton comfortable at the break.
Further goals from Adam Nicholson and Frank Nouble put gloss on the scoreline.
Michael Dunwell named two debutants in his Starting XI in goalkeeper Reuben Egan and the aforementioned Foreman. There was also a return for Baggs following his short loan spell at Morpeth Town.
Both sides exchanged chances in the opening ten minutes. Harley Dawson had a big chance to score on his former team but he sliced his effort wide after Nouble had cushioned the ball down for him.
At the other end, Egan was called into action for the first time. He made a sharp save with his foot following a corner.
Stockton opened the scoring when a lofted ball forward was taken down well by Foreman, he advanced before he cut inside and curled a delightful strike into the top corner.
The Anchors had a second soon after when Whitby made a hash of things in defence and Baggs was alert to pounce and calmly slotted past Henry Popple.
The goals continued to come for Stockton and they had a third when Owen Gallacher was there on the line to convert after Harley Dawson had poked an effort on goal.
Confidence was flowing from the Anchors and that was shown when Jacob Watson sent a freekick on goal from halfway and came close by clipping the crossbar.
Foreman continued in a pursuit to add to the scoreline with a couple of curling efforts which just drifted wide.
Half-Time: Whitby Town 0-3 Stockton Town
The Anchors extended their lead further early in the second half. They kept the ball alive following a freekick, the ball came to Nicholson who turned on a dime and fired in. A definite for his highlight reel.
Stockton had the opportunity to add a fifth when Nouble was brought down after he burst into the box. Nouble took responsibility and confidently dispatched.
Despite cruising in the game, Stockton showed determination to preserve the clean sheet. Nicholson threw himself at the ball to make a pivotal block.
With the game wrapped up, it gave an opportunity for more minutes for youngsters and returning players. Callum Young and Jaedon Faulkner both came on the pitch and had efforts. Young had a shot blocked by Alex White at close range, while Faulkner sent the ball wide from just outside the box.
Full-Time: Whitby Town 0-5 Stockton Town.
A huge and much-needed three points for Stockton Town on the road. Next up is a trip to Easington Colliery in the Durham Challenge Cup to look forward to.
