Torquay United marked Gary Johnson's 100th game as manager of the Gulls in the best possible way as they hit four past Boreham Wood to book their place in the Last 16 of the FA Trophy.
After a goalless first half, United took the lead in the 49th minute when skipper Asa Hall, who was part of Johnson's Cheltenham Town side who won the National League title in the 2015-16 season, found the target with a shot on the turn with his seventh goal of the campaign.
With eight minutes to go, substitute Billy Waters - another of Johnson's Cheltenham class of 2015-16 - doubled United's lead, after he was teed up by Ben Whitfield.
A minute later, Waters turned provider as he set up Plymouth Argyle loanee Adam Randell for the Gulls' third of the evening, which effectively ended the game as a contest.
However, the scoring wasn't finished there as a ball into the box from Whitfield fell to Waters, who then set up Connor Lemonheigh-Evans to tap home from close range with his sixth goal of the campaign.
It was United's 59th win under Johnson in all competitions; they will travel to Southport for the next round of the competition on February 6.
