Charlton 4-0 Scunthorpe: Addicks deepen Iron relegation fears

Highlights of the Sky Bet League One game between Charlton v Scunthorpe.

Charlton deepened Scunthorpe's relegation fears with an emphatic 4-0 win at the Valley.

Anfernee Dijksteel, Joe Aribo, Igor Vetokele and Lyle Taylor were all on target for Lee Bowyer's side, who are already sure of a play-off place.

The Addicks broke the deadlock on 24 minutes when Dijksteel netted his first Charlton goal by meeting Taylor's delightful pass before drilling a low angled drive past Jak Alnwick.

Adam Hammill should have done a lot better when placing a 38th minute shot well wide and only an excellent Dillon Phillips save prevented George Thomas from equalising.

Former Addick Lee Novak fired into the side-netting early in the second period, a miss he and the Iron were left to rue when Charlton doubled their advantage.
