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.
