After watching the Whites stroll into a two-goal lead at half time, the big question was whether they could push on and make the score-line truly reflect their dominance in the game?
Five second-half goals left folk in do doubt and though there were some comedy jeers from cheeky home fans when Ricardo Santos slowed play in stoppage time whilst folk were baying for an eighth goal, it was all laughed off in good jest as Evatt hailed the biggest league win ever seen in the stadium.
“We didn’t ease off – although there was probably a little sign at seven when we got a few boos from the crowd. But we’ll take that in good nature,” he told the press after the game.
“But the guys who have been here on this journey with me from the start – Marc, Jacko, Derek – will tell you that sort of performance has been coming and that we have wanted that from the team.
“Too often when we have got ahead in a game we have got comfortable and backed off. But the next phase of our development as a team is to develop that ruthless streak and to keep going.
“The players off the bench helped because they are hungry and want to get back into the 11. It is a difficult place to be, in the team at the minute, because every one of them knows there is someone champing at the bit to get their place.”
