Manuel Toledano produced a stunning five-goal performance as we secured an emphatic 6-0 victory over College 1975, rounding off a superb week of football for the Imps.

We made the perfect start, taking just 52 seconds to break the deadlock. Yussef Flalhi delivered a ball into the box which found Facu Álvarez, who picked out an unmarked Toledano to tap home from close range.

Toledano doubled his tally just eight minutes later, with Facu once again turning provider. His cross was met by Toledano, who struck a first-time volley past Jake Victor to make it 2-0.

The Spanish striker completed his hat-trick in the 24th minute after Álvaro Romero skipped past a defender inside the penalty area before delivering a low cross for Toledano to turn home from close range.

Remarkably, just two minutes later, Toledano grabbed his fourth goal of the afternoon. The College defence failed to clear Yussef's delivery into the box, allowing him to capitalise on the loose ball and finish from close range once again.

We had an opportunity to extend our advantage further just two minutes later when Álvaro Romero stepped up to take a penalty, but his powerful effort crashed against the crossbar.

Bernardo Lopes then came close to adding his name to the scoresheet after Facu picked out our captain with a perfectly weighted ball over the College defence. However, Bernardo was unable to keep his volley down as we headed into the break with a commanding 4-0 advantage.

Head coach Juanma Pavón made a double substitution on the hour mark, introducing Jay Coombes and Nico Pinto in place of Joe and Álvaro Romero.

Our fifth goal arrived in the 68th minute through Graeme Torrilla. Ethan Jolley produced a clever backheel to find the midfielder, whose initial effort was blocked. Graeme reacted well, holding off his marker before drilling a low shot into the bottom corner.

Further changes followed as Leon Mason, Ethan Britto and Toni García were all introduced into the action.

There was still time for Toledano to complete an extraordinary individual performance, as he grabbed his fifth goal deep into stoppage time. Facu registered his third assist of the afternoon, delivering another cross into the box which Toledano met with a volley from close range to seal a comprehensive 6-0 victory.

It was a dominant performance from start to finish as we capped off a memorable week following our historic midweek UEFA Conference League victory over Hajduk Split.

The result sends us into the international break full of confidence, with momentum firmly on our side following two impressive victories.
