“Big result,” growled a jubilant Neil Harris as he strolled off the pitch following Cambridge United’s 4-0 win over Notts County on Saturday. It is hard to argue with his assessment.

In the biggest game of the season so far, played out in front of a capacity crowd at the Cledara Abbey Stadium, the U’s dismantled County to reclaim their spot in League Two’s promotion places, at the expense of the hapless visitors.

And make no mistake, this was a dismantling so comprehensive that they will probably still be finding bits of black and white debris strewn across Coldham’s Common for years to come. The Magpies, who have designs on automatic promotion themselves, were outfought and outplayed by their hosts, even after Jake Eastwood decided to introduce some unnecessary jeopardy into the occasion by being sent off just before half time.
