Charlton Athletic beaten at Welling United

Charlton Athletic have suffered a 2-0 friendly defeat at Conference Premier side Welling United.

It took Welling just five minutes to put themselves ahead as Kieron St Aimie scored from the penalty spot following a foul from Rhoys Wiggins on Blaine Hudson.

The hosts nearly extended their advantage seven minutes later, but Joe Healy's drive from the edge of the area hit the woodwork.

Charlton were appealing for a penalty of their own before the end of the first half, but the referee waved play on after Simon Church went down in the box.

The visitors were much improved when they came out for the second half, and they came close to making it 1-1 when Callum Harriott shot just wide.

However, Welling made sure of the win on 78 minutes as Moses Ashikodi forced the ball home.
