Malik Mothersille’s hat-trick powered Stockport County to a 6-3 victory over Everton U21 in the Football League Trophy, a rampant display that ended the contest long before the final whistle. The scoreline flattered the visitors slightly, but the hosts’ first-half blitz of three goals in five minutes either side of the interval effectively settled the tie.

The match turned decisively in the opening period, with Mothersille opening the scoring from Callum Camps’ assist in the 11th minute before Camps doubled the lead from Jason Adigun’s delivery on the stroke of half-time. Mikael Mandron added a third in first-half stoppage time, and although Everton U21 responded twice within a minute through Joel Catesby and a Braiden Graham brace, Adetayo Edun’s strike in the 79th minute restored order before Mothersille completed his treble with goals in the 84th and 90th minutes.
