Stoke City secures 4-0 win over Charlton Athletic

Stoke City defeated Charlton Athletic 4-0 at home on September 5, 2026. The match saw Justin Devenny score a penalty to open the scoring, followed by goals from Ethan Galbraith and George Hirst before Devenny added a second goal to complete the scoring before halftime. Stoke City manager Mark Robins noted that the performance followed a difficult start to the season where the club lost its first three matches. The result moves Stoke City into the middle of the Championship table after securing two consecutive home wins in five days. Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones, who previously managed Stoke City, identified the early penalty as a critical turning point in the match. Stoke City now prepares for an upcoming away fixture against winless Cardiff City on Tuesday.
