Evans has scored four goals in as many games for Fleetwood this season
Veteran hitman Ched Evans registered a double as he fired Fleetwood into the third round of the Carabao Cup with a convincing 4-0 win over Shrewsbury.
The Cod Army maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign under Matt Lawlor with victory over their League Two rivals.
Shrewsbury's assignment at Highbury got off to a bad start when captain Will Boyle turned the ball into his own net inside the opening 10 minutes.
Evans dinked an effort wide as the hosts searched for a second goal, before Shrewsbury's first real chance hit the side netting through Joe Gbode.
Josh Ruffels nodded Kevin Berkoe's dangerous delivery wide for Gavin Cowan's charges before Isaac Fletcher shot straight at Jay Lynch.
Evans doubled the advantage on the half-hour mark as he rose highest to thump Mark Helm's cross home.
And the 37-year-old made it four goals in as many games this season when he rifled home his second after a mistake at the back in the 34th minute.
After the break, Lynch saved efforts from Gbode and Isaac England as the Shrews struggled in front of goal.
Jay Turner-Cooke's deflected strike then landed on the roof of the hosts' net as the clock ticked down.
The hosts' Will Davies added gloss late on as his 20-yard strike nestled into the bottom corner.
