Goals from the Checkatrade Trophy featuring under-21 teams from West Ham, Swansea and Everton

Injury-hit Wycombe Wanderers, who were without as many as eight first-team regulars, were knocked out of the Checkatrade Trophy following a 1-0 defeat at Swindon Town on Tuesday night.

In fact, the visitors were so depleted that manager Gareth Ainsworth even included himself in their matchday squad, although the 44-year-old did not call upon himself.

Meanwhile, West Ham United and Swansea City's U21 teams enjoyed wins on the road at Bristol Rovers and Forest Green Rovers respectively.

However, West Ham needed to recover from the shock of falling behind to a Tom Nichols strike after only 21 seconds in their encounter with League One Rovers at the Memorial Stadium.
