First pre-season friendly ends in defeat

Louis Mendez of the SLP reports, 'Badly kept secret that we've been having a friendly kick around against Arsenal today - score didn't quite go our way. Arsenal 6-0 Charlton.'

The formation was 4-4-1-1-1 and fans are speculating whether the same group of players will start against Hull.   Hemed was up front with Aneke in the hole behind him.

Sanguine supremo Lee Bowyer was pleased with the fitness shown by his side.  The Addicks did not pick up any new injuries and Bowyer thinks it was a good workout: https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/lee-bowyer-delivers-verdict-on-charlton-athletics-friendly-defeat-to-arsenal/

Gooners over the moon
The game was behind closed doors at the Emirates which must have been an eerie experience.  
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were both on the scoresheet
