Debutant Justin Devenny scores two as Stoke brush aside 10-man Charlton

Stoke City routed 10-man Charlton Athletic 4-0 at the bet365 Stadium to secure a decisive Sky Bet Championship win. Charlton arrived unbeaten in league play this season, but debutant Justin Devenny delivered a standout brace, while Ethan Galbraith and George Hirst added first-half goals. Stoke took the lead from the penalty spot in the 15th minute after Charlton debutant Timothy Ouma was judged to have fouled Ben Wilmot in the box, and Devenny converted for his first goal since joining from Crystal Palace. Hirst made it 3-0, and Devenny completed the scoring before halftime. After Danny McNamara was sent off for two yellow cards in three minutes, Stoke controlled the second half as Charlton never recovered.
