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.

What are the Razzies?

Outside of The Oscars, there’s an awards ceremony that aims to honour a group of films from a particular year.  The Razzies, known as the Golden Raspberry Awards, take a very different look at the film industry.  At each ceremony, there are a number of different awards. One of the more humorous awards was won by Con-Air in 1997. The film took home the award for ‘Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property'. Despite this award, it was also nominated for several Oscars in the same year. It’s not the only film to have been nominated for both awards. It has also happened to the Addams Family and Armageddon.   Who 'won' in 2021? The 41st edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards took place on April 24, 2021.

Transfer Deadline Day: Three of the best

Transfer deadline day happens twice a season and is always a crazy day.  Who can forget Dimitar Berbatov moving to Manchester United in August 2008? Or how about Mesut Özil moving to Arsenal in 2013? Dimitar Berbatov - Tottenham to Manchester United in 2008 Earlier on this dramatic deadline day, it had appeared that Manchester City were going to shatter United's hopes after they had a bid of more than 20 million pounds accepted by Tottenham. United ultimately got their man and the Bulgarian would go onto win two Premier League titles and a League Cup whilst at Old Trafford.  At the time of the transfer, one Manchester United fan said: "Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov - Is there a better attacking outfit? Now we are really ready to attack European football like we have done domestically." There is constant debate about the overall effectiveness of 'Berba' during his time at Old Trafford. Some United believed he was the world class addition needed at the time, o
