Checkatrade Trophy: Matchday 2 review

4 October 2016

Norwich City were the big winners on Matchday 2 of the Checkatrade Trophy, beating Barnet 5-0.

Josh Murphy was at the treble for the Canaries as they cruised to three points in their Southern Group F encounter.

In the same group, MK Dons were 1-0 victors at Peterborough United.

Wycombe Wanderers were comfortable winners in Group D of the Southern Section, beating West Ham United 3-0, while Coventry saw off Northampton Town 3-1.

AFC Wimbledon and Swansea City both recorded 2-1 triumphs, as did Millwall, while Luton Town beat West Brom 2-0 and Southend overcame Leyton Orient 1-0.

Reading notched two points having drawn with Portsmouth before a penalty shoot-out victory, and that was the same story for Bristol Rovers, Swindon Town and Brighton & Hove Albion.

In the Northern Section, Accrington Stanley beat Chesterfield 4-1 with Terry Gornell scoring twice, while their Lancashire rivals Morecambe won 3-1 at home to Stoke City.

In the same group as Stanley, Wolves triumphed in a five-goal thriller on the road at Crewe Alexandra.

Cheltenham Town pulled off a late turnaround to see off Everton 2-1, scoring twice in the last 10 minutes, and that was the same scoreline recorded by Bradford City, Rochdale, Cambridge United and Walsall.

Elsewhere, Leicester City, Sunderland and Mansfield Town won 1-0 on the road, while Oldham were 2-0 away victors.
