Millwall striker Neil Harris struck a stunning hat-trick to ease the Lions past League Two side Bournemouth.
Chris Hackett's superb run from midfield created a chance for Gary Alexander to expertly volley the home side ahead from 18 yards.
Harris poked home his first of the night after 40 minutes.
After a crisp one-two with Alexander Harris placed his second into the corner before he grabbed his third with a fierce volley into the top corner.
