Rovers Under-21s crashed out of the Premier League Cup at the last 16 stage, losing 7-0 away to Charlton Athletic.

The hosts led 3-0 at the break thanks to a brace from Kaheim Dixon and a sublime strike from Toby Bower into the top corner.

Rovers made a triple change at the interval, but Ibrahim Fullah made it 4-0 virtually straight after the restart, before Patrick Casey added a fifth from close range on the hour mark.

Jamaican forward Dixon completed his hat-trick with a lobbed finish soon after, before Seydil Toure rounded off the rout with a header late on, as Charlton eased into the quarter-finals of the competition.
