**Brentford cruised into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 5-0 win at Grimsby,**
Goals from Mathias Jensen, Keane Lewis-Potter, Reiss Nelson, Fabio Carvalho and Nathan Collins gave a much-changed Bees side a resounding victory.
League Two Grimsby have enjoyed an excellent run in the tournament, beating Manchester United, but never looked like stopping Brentford reaching the last eight for the fourth time in six seasons – and winning a third consecutive game in all competitions.
Jensen fired in the opener midway through the first half and Lewis-Potter headed in a cross from Nelson, who made it 3-0 with a 20-yard strike shortly before half-time.
Carvalho won and scored a penalty to make it four, and Collins headed in the fifth.
**Brentford:** Valdimarsson; Arthur (Kayode 71), van den Berg (Collins 60), Pinnock, Henry; Onyeka (Janelt 68), Jensen; Lewis-Potter, Carvalho, Nelson (Donovan 68); Ouattara (Schade 60)
Subs not used: Balcombe, Ajer, Damsgaard, Thiago.
