CAMBRIDGE United boss Neil Harris hailed a "ruthless" display from his side after they thumped Gillingham 5-0 at the Abbey in League Two on Saturday.
The U's kept up their promotion push with an emphatic win at the weekend, with Dom Ball, Louis Appere, Sullay Kaikai and Shayne Lavery on the scoresheet, while Lenni Cirino also netted an own goal.
The impressive victory leaves United third in the League Two table, on 68 points from 36 matches played, while Gillingham sit 16th following their heavy defeat.
Harris rued a lack of clinical finishing from his side in their 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley last weekend, but the U's produced a superb response on Saturday to chalk up their biggest win of the campaign to date.
