It was a dream first start for the club for Archer, who spent last season on loan at Solihull Moors.
 He was one of ten changes boss Dean Smith made from Saturday's win over Newcastle. Archer will hope his goals have put him in the reckoning to be included in the squad against Brentford at the weekend.

Barrow competed well at times but were playing catch-up from the tenth minute when El Ghazi got in behind and squared for Archer to slot in his first from six yards out.

Reaction

The Barrow manager said: "I'm frustrated because the scoreline didn't do ourselves justice. Yeah, we're playing against a good team but we've got to be better than that."

Aston Villa assistant Craig Shakespeare added:

"You want to get through to the next round but then you've got a young boy coming in and scores a hat-trick, always pleasing."
Another good cup run for the Villains, they reached the final in 2020, would represent clear progress at the club. They haven't won a major trophy since winninv this same competition in 1996.

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. Critics would argue that they are still a world class defensive midfielder away from leading the charge in domestic and European competitions.
