Charlton extended their unbeaten run in Sky Bet League One to seven matches as they thrashed Reading 4-0 to ensure their horrendous away form continued.
The Royals have not collected a single point on their travels this season and last won on the road in the league nearly a calendar year ago - November 12, 2022.
Charlton sparked into life after a low-quality first half and scored three goals in the space of 20 minutes - with a hat-trick of assists from Corey Blackett-Taylor.
Chuks Aneke was left with a simple close-range header from the winger's cross in the 54th minute.
Aneke was forced off shortly afterwards with a hamstring injury but it did not prevent the Addicks from opening the floodgates.
Substitute Tyreece Campbell smashed a stunning second 14 minutes later.
Reading keeper David Button tipped over Miles Leaburn's shot as Charlton began to go through the gears.
Alfie May pounced at the near post for his eighth goal of the campaign before Campbell sent Miles Leaburn racing through in stoppage time to clinically finish past Button.
