Arsenal midfielder Jon-Miquel Toral struck a hat-trick for Brentford in their rout of Blackpool.
A hat-trick from Arsenal loanee Toral and an Andre Gray strike sealed the points against the woeful 10-man Tangerines.
Brentford boss Mark Warburton said: "We were very professional and moved the ball well, kept our focus and kept the pressure on a side that are scrapping for their lives.
"I don't want to be disrespectful to Blackpool because we got an early goal and they lost a player, which made it very difficult for them, but in that kind of form we are a match for any side in this division."
