In the second half Junior Konadu beat a string of defenders and found Shane Tolley’s head for the fourth, before Jacob, from a move begun by new face Rene Steer, got his second of the game for the fifth.
Steer, the former Arsenal youngster, joined the Saints on Tuesday as a replacement for Will Fordham, who left the club the same day.
Left back Steer, 21, was a professional with Arsenal for two years between 2007 and 2009 but failed to break into the Premiership club’s first team. He played five games on loan at Gillingham in 2009 before joining Oldham Athletic a year later. Most recently he has been on the books of Conference South side Staines Town.
