After Ryan Yates’ spectacular goal opened the scoring, Sam Surridge scored two goals either side of halftime to clinch a convincing victory.
Ryan Taylor, a substitute for the home team, blasted a header against the crossbar early in the second half to give the team the closest opportunity to pulling one goal back.
The former Watford star was, however, substituted and replaced by his compatriot Taiwo Awoniyi in 75th minute of the game, and the former Union Berlin player had a hand in their third goal.
The Reds qualified to the League Cup third round thanks to great performances from the two top stars from Nigeria.
The following round of the contest is scheduled for November 8 and 9.
