Robbie Savage's first game in charge of Peterborough is a comfortable win which sends his side into the last 32 of the Jersey Mike's Trophy.
Early goals from Will Swan and Stephen Humphrys put them in charge before Swan's second and Nick Powell's penalty sent them into the knockout phase. Huddersfield also cemented their place with a 5-0 win over Rochdale, with Lynden Gooch, Jay Smith-Sway and Cameron Ashia all on target. Samson Tovide scored his first goal for the Terriers in just his second appearance.
Sunderland Under-21s included Luke O'Nien in their side at Sheffield Wednesday. The defender won the competition with the Black Cats' senior side in 2021 but was powerless to prevent a 2-0 defeat. Accrington Stanley are favourites to join Wednesday in qualifying, with David Tutonda's 98th-minute equaliser against Salford taking their tie to penalties.
Savage departed National League club Forest Green Rovers to succeed Luke Williams at Peterborough and take his first managerial position in the EFL. Harry Leonard scored twice as Posh netted four times in 10 first-half minutes on their way to a comprehensive win.
