Arsenal 5-0 Charlton: How it happened

We returned to winning ways on Wednesday night as we ran out 5-0 winners over Charlton Athletic in the Continental Tyres Cup.

The visitors had a clear gameplan of sitting tight and remaining organised at the back - but their clean sheet vanished inside six minutes following a wonderful solo goal from Vivianne Miedema.

The Netherlands international received the ball 40 yards from goal and dribbled past the Charlton defence, before firing past Katie Startup with a cool finish.

The pressure continued - and on the half-hour mark Miedema drilled the ball across the face of goal and into the path of Katie McCabe, who made no mistake in doubling our advantage.
