Dagenham & Redbridge’s FA Cup hopes were crushed by Millwall who inflicted a 5-0 upon the Daggers in their third round replay.

A hat-trick from Darius Henderson was added to by a brace from Harry Kane and it will be the Lions who take on Southampton in round four.

John Still’s side went behind early into the contest as Henderson scored in the seventh minute.

The former Watford striker reacted quickest to fire home a rebound from a 30-yard effort from Kane.

Dagenham fought back into the game but conceded a second just before the break. Kane this time on the scoresheet after beating Daggers’ stopper Chris Lewington from distance.

Billy Bingham nearly responded for Still’s side but his shot cannoned back off the bar and Dagenham went in two goals behind at the break.

After a good start to the second period any hope that Dagenham had of getting back into the game was all but ended as Henderson grabbed his second.

The 30-year-old on hand to convert from close range after a good passage of play from the Lions.

Just four minutes later Henderson completed his hat-trick and it came from the penalty spot after Kane was brought down in the box.

Millwall added their fifth two minutes after scoring their fourth. It was Kane, who was excellent for the Lions, who got it as he netted thanks to a well-timed header to complete the rout.
