Aaron Drinan's second brace in a row helped Waterford sink 10-man Finn Harps at the RSC.
Shane Duggan and Dean Walsh tacked on two more to complete the rout.
Having Mark Doyle sent off inside the opening half hour didn’t help the task of struggling Finn Harps. After fouling Zack Elbouzedi, he walked for another mistimed challenge on Shane Duggan.
Waterford took just 10 minutes for the advantage to tell. Rory Feely’s pinpoint cross from the right found Drinan who headed into the bottom corner from eight yards.
The one-way traffic continued in the second-half and they added to their lead on 65 minutes. Ciaran Gallagher could only parry Duggan’s low drive from the edge of the box and Drinan followed in for his brace.
Scott Twine scampered into the box on 73 minutes and squared for Duggan to find the top corner with a rising shot.
To wrap up the scoring, Izzy Akinade set up his fellow substitute Dean Walsh to head in the fourth in the final minute.
