EFL Trophy: Birmingham crush Fulham U21s to coast through

Jay Stansfield and Ayumu Yokoyama both scored twice as Birmingham City progressed in the EFL Trophy with a 7-1 win over Fulham under-21s.

Alfie May, Keshi Anderson and Lyndon Dykes also got in on the act as the Blues really turned up the heat on their visitors in the second half, despite Martial Godo initially levelling.

Doncaster Rovers secured their progression to the knockout stages of the competition after beating Barnsley 3-1 at the Eco-Power Stadium.

Second-half goals from Joe Ironside and Harry Clifton put the hosts in control before Aiden Marsh halved the deficit.
