Charlton Athletic picked up their first win of the League One season as they dispatched Crewe Alexandra 2-0 at The Valley.
The Addicks took the lead via Diallang Jaiyesimi just past the half-hour mark as the winger headed in Chris Gunter’s cross.
Callum Ainley almost had Crewe back on level terms immediately afterwards but Craig MacGillivray saved brilliantly to keep Charlton’s lead intact.
Jayden Stockley then doubled Charlton’s advantage just before half-time, finishing off a great move orchestrated by Jaiyesimi and Conor Washington.
MacGillivray was on hand again to deny Kayne Ramsay early in the second-half after the Crewe player’s driving run went unchallenged.
At the other end, Washington should have extended Charlton’s lead but could only force a save from Will Jaaskelainen, with Charlie Kirk also denied by the Crewe keeper moments later.
As Crewe looked to reduce the arrears, Ainley forced another good save from MacGillivray and were also later denied by Albie Morgan as he headed Chris Porter’s header off the line.
Washington had another late chance but saw his goal-bound effort blocked before Stockley forced a stunning diving save from Jaaskelainen inside the final 10 minutes.
