Mason-Clark restored the cushion with a crisp finish from substitute Victor Torp's pass (76.). Kaine Hayden added a late fifth in the first minute of second half stoppage time.

Carl Rushworth tipped over a rising Conor Chaplin effort in the first half. Bobby Thomas then thumped a header against the bar before the interval.
