A first hat-trick in the colours of Notts County for Macaulay Langstaff ensured Luke Williams' side maintained their unbeaten start to the National League, coming away 5-0 winners away at Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Magpies dominated the opening exchanges and were rewarded in the 19th minute after a high ball into the area eventually fell to the feet of Langstaff, who swivelled and fired the ball underneath Elliott Justham.
And their dominance continued throughout, with Aaron Nemane's effort rattling the crossbar, but the right-back was on hand to provide an assist for Notts second goal, with Cedwyn Scott on the move to place Nemane's deflected shot goal-bound after beating the offside trap.
