Top scorer Ethan Boylan bundled in number three in the 72nd minute following great work from substitute Jordan Lucas on the right.
Defender Gareth Beattie completed the rout in the closing minutes with a spectacular strike that dipped over Hassan's head and into the net.

Bangor came away from Dunloy with a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw at McCamphill Park this afternoon. Dunloy took an early lead when a free-kick from the right was glanced home past Gibbons.
Mark Magennis got Bangor back on level terms after 22 minutes with a well placed low strike into the corner of the net. Dunloy regained the lead 5 minutes later when a shot from the edge of the penalty area came down off the crossbar and into the Bangor net.
Bangor started the second half brightly and finally found their way to goal in the 58th minute when a low drive from Karl Rossborough rebounded off the upright and landed kindly for Dale Patton, who made no mistake from a few yards out.
The Seasiders pushed forward in search of a winner in the closing stages, but couldn't find a way through a resilient Dunloy defence.
