Oldham continued their push for promotion from League One as they comfortably defeated Hartlepool.
The Latics, now undefeated in five, went in front when Aiden White finished from close range after Scott Flinders had parried Oumare Tounkara's shot.
Chris Taylor doubled the lead when he drilled home after an error from Pools' Peter Hartley, before Cedric Evina's powerfully struck effort made it 3-0.
Substitute Reuben Reid sealed the win, heading home from Evina's fine cross.
