391 Addicks enjoyed a convincing 3-0 win over Southend United yestrtday.
Sonny Carey fired the Addicks in front in the first half
before Shrimpers wing-back Gus Scott-Morriss wasted the chance to equalise as
his spot-kick was saved by Thomas Kaminski.
The Addicks raced further clear at the start of the second
half with substitute Gassan Ahadme scoring twice in quick succession as
Charlton boss Nathan Jones enjoyed a successful return to his former club.
After a quiet start to the game, Charlton broke the deadlock
in the 19th minute with Carey on target. The Addicks broke quickly after Harry
Taylor had been caught in possession and soon switched the ball into the right
hand side of the penalty area where Carey netted with a powerful effort which
deflected in off Blues defender Ben Goodliffe.
Summer signing Slavis Spasov was brought down in the box by Amari’i Bell and
referee Robert Claussen immediately pointed to the penalty spot. However, Scott-Morriss was unable to make
the most of the opportunity as his 12 yard shot was kept out by Thomas Kaminski
diving to his right hand side.
The visitors opted to make a change at the break with Ahadme
replacing former Shrimpers striker Charlie Kelman in attack. (Leaburn was sidelined with a knock in
triaing). And the forward made an
instant impression scoring twice in quick succession.
Ahadme’s first goal came in the 49th minute when he headed
home a superb right wing cross from Conor Coventry and just seconds later the
striker was celebrating again as he clinically converted a low cross-shot from
Rob Apter.
