Birmingham City 5-1 Crawley Town

Che Adams netted seven goals in all competitions last season

Che Adams' first senior hat-trick helped Birmingham City move into the EFL Cup second round with a dominant home win over League Two Crawley Town.

The former Sheffield United forward opened the scoring with a calm finish just before the half-hour mark.

Midfielder David Davis then slotted in before Adams poked in from a corner.

After the break, Robert Tesche headed in the fourth and Adams completed his treble, before Panutche Camara's fine finish gave Crawley a late consolation.
