The visitors pulled one back on the half-hour, only for Burrows to finish off a flowing move to hand the Robins a 3-1 half-time lead.

Jake Brown extended the lead on 58 minutes, and a minute later it was 5-1 as Taylor grabbed his second.

Burrows sealed his hat-trick with two minutes left on the clock, securing a 6-1 win for his side.
