Millar Matthews-Lewis, Oliver Lynch and Archie Heron then all found the target to complete the scoring.

Town’s U21s played during midweek too, as they drew 2-2 against Fulham at The Brache.

Daniel Idiakhoa and Josh Allen both found the net, the latter from the penalty spot after Idiakhoa had been fouled in the area.
