Charlton thrash Cray Valley in FA Cup as THREE sons of guns on scoresheet

Charlton Athletic into the second round of the FA Cup after thrashing Cray Valley Paper Mills away from home.

The scores were locked at 1-1 at the break after Kyrell Lisbie, the son of former Addicks striker Kevin Lisbie, struck from the spot to cancel out Alfie May's opener for Charlton.

But the League One team took charge after halftime as Mile Leaburn, the son of former Charlton striker Carl Leaburn, struck, along with May, George Dobson, Tyreece Campbell (the son of former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell) and debutant Micah Mbick scored.

Cray Valley manager Steve McKimm later said: "I'm ever so proud of them.

"We told them to turn them for the first 10-15 minutes in the second half and we started to try and play out.

"And if I can be critical, that's what hurt us. They made some changes and they played some top players tonight and they taught us a lesson.

"If my players aspire to be professional footballers, they have to get to that level and I thought Charlton were superb, they took their chances.

"But I couldn't be more proud of this group of players.

"They've had a great run, we've earnt this club so much money, hopefully now they can get stuff done to the ground and we focus now on the FA Trophy and the league."
