Walsall's on-loan Stoke City forward Douglas James-Taylor was among the goals as Stoke City U21s put six past Derby County U21s on Monday evening.Taking place at the campus of Loughborough University, the Premier League 2 clash saw Douglas and teammate Jacob Holland-Wilkinson net braces, with Trialist B and Dara McGuinness also getting on the scoresheet.
Sonny Blu Lo-Everton scored a consolation for the Rams, but there was little they could do to halt the momentum of City as they eased to victory.
21-year-old James-Taylor has made twenty-eight first-team appearances so far this season for the Saddlers, hitting the back of the net on two occasions.
