Premiership: Charlton add to Everton's woes

Everton 0, Charlton 3 (full-time)

Everton were beaten 3-0 by Charlton at Goodison Park, the Blues' fourth successive Premiership defeat.

Charlton were comprehensive winners with Graham Stuart putting them ahead at the break.

A second-half display of efficiency and organisation produced further strikes from Jason Euell and Paul Konchesky.

Walter Smith's side were jeered off after a shambolic display.

Steve Simonsen was in action from the off, blocking a Scott Parker deflection with his defenders static.

The only first-half trouble for Charlton's goalkeeper Dean Kiely came when Jesper Blomqvist got down the left and squared the ball back for Tomasz Radzinski, whose first-timer from 10 yards was blocked.

Charlton went close on 25 minutes when Jorge Costa got to a Claus Jensen curling free-kick before a flat-footed Abel Xavier and sent a header skimming the bar. It was to be the warning sign that Everton - and Xavier - failed to heed.

From Charlton's next attack they took the lead through Stuart on 29 minutes.

Jensen's ball deep into the box was reached first by Kevin Lisbie - again Xavier being slow to react - and with Simonsen out of position due to Xavier's lack of action, Stuart slid in at the far post to score.

Charlton came out for the second half with the intention of grabbing a second to give themselves some breathing space, but they failed to take advantage of a string of early corners.

By the time Stuart was taken off on 75 minutes with a slight leg injury, he got a standing ovation from Everton fans.

By then Charlton had taken an even greater grip on things on 67 minutes.

Robinson carried the ball down the left and pushed a neat ball into the path of Euell, who strode on to crash a rising shot past Simonsen.

Everton's woes were complete when Konchesky crashed the ball home after head tennis on the edge of the box failed to clear the ball.
