Plymouth Argyle's barren FA Cup run has come to an end as the Pilgrims produced a five-star display to defeat Lincoln City.
Reuben Reid scored a hat-trick as Argyle defeated the Imps at the second attempt, following their goalless draw at Sincil Bank a week last Saturday.
Lewis Alessandra opened the scoring before Reid doubled their lead with his first of the night. The Yeovil Town loanee then bagged a brace from the penalty spot-following a foul by Tom Miller- before completing his treble before half-time.
An Andrew Boyce own goal extended the Pilgrims' lead to five in the second half as they secured their place in round two, where Welling United-another Conference outfit- await them.
The win was Argyle's first success in the FA Cup since they beat Hull City in the third round of the competition in the 2007-08 season, and their first victory over non-league opposition in three attempts after being eliminated from the competition by Stourbridge and Dorchester Town in the past two years.
Reid's hat-trick was the first by an Argyle since Vincent Pericard netted three times against Coventry City in February 2006.
