Bradford City’s 5-1 win over Everton Under-21s was the standout result of Tuesday’s three matches in the Vertu Trophy.
The League One side put on a fine showing with Calum Kavanagh, George Lapslie, and a Stephen Humphrys double essentially wrapping up the match before half-time.
Defender Joe Wright put one into his own net to give the Toffees a glimmer of hope, before Alex Pattison made it 5-1 late on.
The result confirmed the Bantams will reach the knockout phase and took them to the top of their group.
Everton, for whom Dwight McNeil and Nathan Patterson started, cannot qualify after starting with two defeats.
