Middlesbrough extended their unbeaten home run this season with a 3-0 victory against Charlton Athletic at the Riverside. Sebastian Berhalter opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Will Lankshear netted twice, on either side of half-time, bringing his season tally to 15 goals. Head coach Kim Hellberg highlighted the team's relentless preparation at Rockliffe as the key to their dominant performance.
