Stoke scored with their first real foray into the Addicks’ half, although the opener carried more than a touch of good fortune.<\/p>\n
Eric-Junior Bocat’s tenacity saw the ball poked out to the left, where Thomas made space to send over a cross which was well struck and the ball looped over Charlton keeper Thomas Kaminski.<\/p>\n
It went from bad to worse for Charlton boss Jones, returning to a club that he managed for 11 months in 2019, as they went 2-0 down after just five minutes.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Viktor Johansson’s long ball was contested by Potters’ centre-forward Robert Bozenik and defender Lloyd Jones.<\/p>\n
The Slovakian bundled his opponent out of the way, the ball falling to Thomas who found Manhoef on the right.<\/p>\n
The winger was able to cut inside and deliver a low shot just inside Kaminski’s right-hand post.<\/p>\n
The Addicks conceded four goals in eight minutes against the Saints and although they managed to hold out for longer this time around, they conceded a third before half-time.<\/p>\n
Bae Jun-Ho fed Thomas, again loitering on the left, but this time he cut back onto his right foot.<\/p>\n
Bozenik and Kayne Ramsey contested the cross in front of keeper Kaminski who reacted late, the ball dribbling under his arms and crossing the goalline.<\/p>\n
Charlton eventually threatened – Luke Berry testing Johansson from distance just after the hour mark – but Stoke substitute Sam Gallagher went closest to finding the net again with a late snapshot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
