A solid display and great performance with the back three putting in a shift led to this win over Birmingham. Charlie Kelman scored, as is usual with Charlton, late in the second half with a composed strike.

In the first half, Sonny Carey tested the away GK Ryan Allsopp and Greg Docherty headed on goal but again the Blues GK was equal to it.

In the second half, with 20 minutes left Kelman and Joe Rankin-Costello replaced Luke Chambers and Greg Docherty to shore up the attack and it paid dividends. Lyndon Dykes provided the assist for Kelman’s superb goal.

Birmingham then came back into the game and had a few chances of their own as they pressed forward. However the Add1cks also nearly doubled their lead when Kelman shot wide across the face of goal and Leaburn’s effort just went wide of the post before the end of play.

Charlton goal: Kelman 74

Pick of the Players: All of the back three this time Ramsay, Jones and Bell.
