Charlton won 6-0 at home for the first time since 1976 (against Swansea City).
It was a busy opening few minutes with Shrewsbury displaying their physicality. Campbell won Charlton a corner. Morgan's corner was unproductive.
Clare fell awkwardly and stayed down. He may have turned his ankle. After a few minutes he had to come off. Sessegnon came on.
By the halfway mark neither keeper had been tested. It had been a game of nearly moments.
Charm merchant Flanagan got a yellow card for fouling Rak-Sakyi. From a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, Fraser put the ball over the wall and into the net into the top corner on 26 minutes. It was a brilliant free kick.
Sessegnon got a yellow card. A header from Leaburn was straight at the keeper.
Dobson got a harsh yellow card for challenging Flanagan. Thomas headed the ball away from the free kick and Shipley's effort went wide.
Charlton went 2-0 up on 38 minutes. The referee Bobby Madley played a good advantage for a foul on Fraser which saw a subsequent yellow card for Saydee, Fraser put in a long ball, Rak-Sakyi saw the run of Morgan who drilled it past the keeper.
Four minutes were added on. Rak-Sakyi saw a gap and made a brilliant finish with his left foot to give Charlton their third. Louis Mendez commented: 'The Rak-Sakyi goal reminds me of a couple Scott Parker scored back the glory days. Away at Leeds and home v Southampton. Slalom through a tight penalty area and then a nonchalant stroke/prod home. '
Shrewsbury had a late corner. Thomas did well to head it away.
Charlton had been a lot more threatening in the final third than Shrewsbury.
Curbs said they were three fantastic goals, all different. The second one was a wonderful counter attacking goal. We had a lot of pace in the side. Under Holden there was not so much passing around at the back. Our first look is forward.
HT: 3-0
Shrewsbury won a corner on 56 minutes, but the move ended offside. A corner taken by Fraser was a waste.
Leaburn made it 4-0 on 61 minutes. It was a fantastic low shot from 25 yards.
With Dobson on a yellow card, he came off and was replaced by Henry. Mitchell came on for Hector.
The referee blew up for a penalty for handball after Flanagan intercepted a goalbound strike from Sessegnon and the charm merchant was sent off at The Valley once again (he was sent off before for Sunderland). Leaburn scored to make it the old five on 70 minutes past the morose Marosi.
Charlton were under pressure after a corner but the ball seemed to come off the crossbar and it was cleared.
On 76 minutes Bonne and Payne came on for Thomas and Fraser. Shrewsbury broke and won a corner which ended in a goal kick.
Charlton were denied a sixth by the flag and Rak-Sakyi a second.
Five minutes were added on. Charlton made it 6-0. Bonne scored! He controlled Henry's strike and picked out the bottom corner.

The pundits
Curbs said we looked really dangerous, the whole thing had been perfect.
Dean Holden said that Miles Leaburn had a premonition he would score a brace today: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/dean-holden-discloses-leaburn-premonition-ahead-of-match-that-sees-charlton-smash-six-past-sorry-shrewsbury/
According to the Shrewsbury manager the first three goals were against the run of play, but I don't remember Maynard-Brewer being troubled much.
Louis Mendez is able to give a positive vibe to his four takeaways for once: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/five-takeaways-from-charltons-6-0-thrashing-of-shrewsbury-town-a-nice-surprise-for-addicks-fans/
