Tuesday was hot in the EFL Trophy after Blackpool secured a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Aston Villa U-21, while Port Vale blasted five goals against Manchester City U-21. Complete the round-up: Arsenal U-21s also came back in the last 20 minutes to win at AFC Wimbledon, and Everton U-21s were disappointed to be beaten by Shrewsbury Town in extra-time. At Bloomfield Road, young Aston Villa struck first in the 29th minute through Fletcher Boyd. It wasn't long before Blackpool turned the score around in the second period: Zac Ashworth struck, Jerry Yates followed, and Jordan Brown connected for the Seasiders' 3-1 lead. Villa had a last gasp when Markie Meade scored in stoppage time, but it was over for a 3-2 final. On the record, Blackpool move up to second place in Northern Group B, while Villa U-21 remain bottom with no points yet. Meanwhile, Manchester City U-21's defense was limited as Port Vale scored four times in the first 34 minutes and ended up scoring five goals. Maleace Asamoah opened the ballot before Jaheim Headley, Max Watters, Lewis Montsma, and Keyrol Figueroa listed to finish the rout. Vale now lead Northern Group D with seven points, while City U-21 are third. According to an interview with BBC Radio Stoke, the Vale coach insisted that they treated it as a competitive match and that they attacked to win - and it was evident that it paid off with five goals.

In the southern section, Arsenal U-21 needed the last 18 minutes to grab a 2-1 win at AFC Wimbledon. Callum Maycock gave the League One side an early lead, but the Gunners' turnaround bit the bullet as Scot Evan Mooney was brought on to make an immediate impact after five minutes. Three minutes from time, Emerson Nwaneri finished off the reverse to send Arsenal U-21 top of Southern Group F with six points, with Wimbledon second. In Shropshire, Everton U-21s remained scoreless after being beaten 2-1 by Shrewsbury Town in the second minute of extra time. Michael Golding brought Salop close with the first goal, before Omari Benjamin pulled one back for the Toffees. But it was Jeval Thompson-McKenzie who had the last word in stoppage time for Shrewsbury's win. Speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire, the Shrewsbury coach said the result was deserved and a testament to the quality of their club. Context: The EFL Trophy consists of clubs from League One and League Two, along with invited U-21 teams from the higher divisions. The competition is divided into Northern and Southern groups, and the top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout rounds. For the U-21s, this is a big chance for serious minutes against senior sides; for EFL clubs, it is a legitimate route to a Wembley final. At the current pace, every point and goal difference matters, especially in the tight groups in the north and south.

What's next

In the next matches, Blackpool are expected to continue their good run in the EFL Trophy, while Aston Villa U-21 will have to find a way to get their first point. Results from other teams in their group can affect their position, so every match is important for their goals.
