The Add1cks recorded a stunning 1 - 0 win against near table toppers Middlesbrough Wednesday night at the Riverside Stadium.
Conor Coady was the match hero scoring the only goal in the second half as the Add1cks yet again defended manfully to keep another clean sheet.
Boro had the lions share of chances and possession in both halves and played as a team on the verge of promotion to the Premier League. But for all their dominance, they were unable to make any shots on target count, even their player Targett was off target on the night.
Conor Coventry, Greg Docherty and Sonny Carey in midfield put in a shift as did the defence of Gough, Coady, Gillesphey and Clarke. Not forgetting the subs who played their part.
Early on Charlton's best chances were on the counter attack; Harry Clarke lined up Charlie Kelman whose shot at a tight angle was kept out by Boro goalie Brynn.
Coady's goal came from an expertly taken Clarke long throw-in from the right. Coady was able to guide the ball past Brynn into the Boro goal.
Despite Middlesbrough having 78% of possession and 34 attemps on goal, the resolute defence and Mannion held firm. No one was able to find a way past him and he has had an excellent return to goal keeping duties.
Charlton goal: Coady 59
Pick of the Players: Will Mannion
