Picture : Wikimedia Commons / Steve Daniels Arsenal made it four wins out of four in the Premier League thanks to a David Raya penalty save and a wonderful first goal from Bruno Guimaraes at Sunderland. Bukayo Saka's injury-time penalty secured a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light, where the Gunners dropped two points last season in a 2-2 draw. Mikel Arteta should have been beaming after a victory which comes at the end of a week where Chelsea were overcome at the Emirates and N

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 5 CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1 Two players at different stages of their careers helped Tottenham ease past Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup. Spurs eventually brushed the Addicks aside with a 5-1 victory and a performance which was a slow burn into a second half of some prime quality in north London. The sort which illustrates the gap between the Premier League and the Championship itself. A home debut goal from substitute Savio lit up the Tottenham Hotspur Stadiu

That was the season that was : Picture by @YTJourno AFC Wimbledon 4 Not the greatest of seasons for the Dons, who fell too close to the trapdoor for comfort towards the business end of the season. Johnnie Jackson's men finished only two places above the dotted line after losing nine of their last 11 matches and they managed only two goals in their last eight games. Only Marcus Browne (with 12) managed to get into double figures for goals. And home form was a concern, with onl

They are still in the box seat with two still to play and the only team they have to worry about, Oxford United, have to visit Mil

Nearly on the beach : Picture by William Powell Championship Watford (0) 1 Irankunda 74 Charlton Athletic (0) 1 Godden 62 Watford and Charlton Athletic had to settle for point apiece in the local derby at Vicarage Road as fans basked in the April Bank Holiday Monday sunshine. Charlton Athletic opened the scoring when Matty Godden scored with his first touch of the game having just come on in the 61st as a substitute thanks to a right footed shot from the centre of the penalty

Valley line ups Championship Charlton Athletic (1) 1 Dykes 30 Bristol City (1) 2 Twine 11, Eile 55 Charlton fashioned some great late chances to salvage something from a disappointing afternoon but once again paid for a lack of cutting edge. They have not scored more than once in a home game since October and despite recovering from conceding an early goal, they were unable to hit back a second time after falling behind again at the start of the second half. It was the perfec

Championship Charlton Athletic (0) 0 Wrexham (1) 1 Rathbone 30 The Addicks' lack of fire power cost them dearly as they failed to make the most of plenty of possession and a host of chances. The Hollywood celebrity outfit - as Wrexham have become - were diligent rather than dazzling, only occasionally showing why it is they have climbed into the play-off zone and are charging up the divisions. Their winner on the half hour came against the run of play - a fine technical left

A result that did not match the rousing sentiment : Picture by Patrick van Ijzendoorn Championship Charlton Athletic (0) 1 Fevrier 64 Portsmouth (2) 3 Devlin 22, 55, Bishop 34 After three clean sheets on the spin, with two victories, the Addicks suffered a well-deserved defeat against Portsmouth on Tuesday evening. ‘Goals we normally don’t concede,’ muttered a deflated Addicks-manager Nathan Jones after this relegation battle on a cold evening in Southeast-London.
