Sweet revenge

After the behaviour of some Shrewsbury fans in the play off semi-final last year, many Charlton fans were particularly keen to win this game. The 580 Addicks were not to be disappointed with a 3-0 win. Charlton's goals came through a toe poke from Lyle Taylor, a screamer from Darren Pratley and a penalty from Karlan Grant.

Charlton remain in fourth place, two points behind Sunderland who drew at home with Luton, both sides having a player sent off. Barnsley and Peterborough both won at home, but Doncaster lost at Wycombe.

Charlton went ahead on 26 minutes when a corner was headed against the upright by a Shrewsbury defender and Taylor was able to poke the ball home.

Three minutes later Bauer received a yellow card for a foul. Shrewsbury had a free kick in a good position but it went straight into the wall.

As the end of normal time approached, Phillips saved well off Okenabirhie. In time added on, a corner was cleared by The Cat.

Louis Mendez thought that Charlton had edged the first half, but that Shrewsbury were vulnerable at set pieces.

On 48 minutes the keeper save from Grant when he was one on one. Three minutes later Grant shot wide. However, on 55 minutes Pratley delivered a screamer into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Morgan was replaced by Lapslie on 58 minutes. Five minutes later he put in a good cross to Taylor who was an inch wide. Taylor then put Shrewsbury under pressure with a good cross which almost led to an own goal. Bielik got a yellow card for dissent. Williams, who had made a good debut, was replaced by Marshall on 77 minutes.

After a superb run from halfway, Grant was brought down and scored from the spot. Dijksteel replaced Bielik.

In time added on an effort by Marshall had to be turned round the post by the keeper.
