Charlton 3-0 Bournemouth
- Published
Dale Stephens scored one and set up another on his Charlton debut as they comfortably overcame Bournemouth.
The Addicks took the lead when Stephens neatly finished into the left-hand corner of the net.
Scott Wagstaff powered home a second from outside the area from Stephens' pass before the Cherries' Marc Pugh wasted their best chance.
Bradley Wright-Phillips was fouled in the box by Adam Barrett to allow Johnnie Jackson to slot home a penalty.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Charlton manager Chris Powell told BBC London 94.9:
"It's been a long summer of change and we've worked really hard.
"I'm pleased and proud of my players because when you come to a new club, normally there are just three or four changes but I've brought in 14 players.
"But they've gelled really quickly off the field too, which was something I felt needed to happen."
Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury told BBC Radio Solent:
"We weren't fully at it today. At the end of the day, we've got to perform.
"It's a big blow, the lads were feeling confident and are now down. We'll learn from it, but we can't really ponder on it too much.
"It was a frustrating day, if the penalty had been given for us, it would have been a different game."
