Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was given a glimpse of the task at hand at Burton Albion as Oxford United cruised to a victory which makes it four straight league wins for Karl Robinson's men.

Hasselbaink was named manager for a second time on Friday night but saw Matty Taylor set the ball rolling on nine minutes, lobbing over Kieran O'Hara from outside the box after being sent clear by Josh Ruffels.

Oxford doubled their lead after 18 minutes, Sam Long working the ball to Olamide Shodipo on the edge of the box and the QPR loanee unerringly finding the top corner with a superb curling effort.

The same combination created the U's third on the half hour, Long getting to the byline and cutting the ball back for Shodipo to slide the ball into the bottom corner.

Albion gave themselves hope five minutes before half-time when Stephen Quinn's deflected effort came back off the post to give Kane Hemmings a tap-in for the 100th League goal of his career.

Ruffels made it 4-1 on 56 minutes rifling in a 25-yard effort and the left-back completed the scoring six minutes later converting another Long cross.

"Let's not kid ourselves, it is a totally different job than my first one here. There is a lot of quality in the dressing room and we need to get it out of the players," said Hasselbaink.

"There are a lot of them low on confidence right now and we need to start giving them that to give them a platform that they can play from and we need to organise as soon as possible. We are leaking too many goals and we need to reduce that very quickly.

"We need to significantly improve in that area and keep things tight and if you do that you have got a chance of winning matches. It doesn't help getting a goal against so early like today especially when your confidence is low and we need to address that aspect of our game immediately."
