Charlton picked up their first win in six matches with a 2-0 win over Yeovil at The Valley.

Kyel Reid opened the scoring on 29 minutes with a cracking shot. The midfielder's right-foot shot flew into the net from around 25-yards out to register his first goal of the season and leave visiting goalkeeper Alex McCarthy rooted to his spot.

Charlton keeper Rob Elliot was twice called into action before the break, saving well from Yeovil striker Sam Williams and then again soon after from a controversial corner.

Loanee David Mooney stretched Charlton's lead on 54 minutes with his fifth of the season following good work by Therry Racon.

Eliott's fine work once again kept the visitors at bay, while new loan signing Johnnie Hackson impressed in midfield after his arrival in the week from Notts County.

A defeat for leaders Norwich City and a draw for second-placed Leeds means Phil Parkinson's side close the gap on the top two. But, a win for third placed Colchester United keeps them fourth on 60 points.

Charlton: Elliot, Richardson, Llera, Dailly, Jackson, Sam (Wagstaff 79mins), Bailey, Racon, Reid, Burton, Mooney. Subs not used: Randolph, Semedo, McKenzie, S Sodje, Solly, A Sodje.
