Charlton beat AFC Wimbledon 5-2 at The Valley this afternoon in front of 2,000 fans. After going one goal ahead, defensive errors saw the Addicks fall 1-2 behind at half time. But it was a storming performance in the second half particularly after Aneke and Williams came on as subs, both of them scoring goals.
It will have been a treat for Thomas Sandgaard who says he likes to win games 5-2 rather than 1-0. Charlton have gone up to 5th.
Gunter had to make a superb defensive intervention in what had up to then been a rather tenative first half. The Addicks were undone by a deflection.
On 36 minutes a move that started off with an offside free kick saw Jason Pearce put in a slide rule pass which Washington took advantage of with a curling shot to make it 1-0. It was his sixth goal for the club.
A misunderstanding between Maddison and Bogle allowed Wimbledon to break Pigott was given too much space. Controlling the ball well, he put in a great shot to make it 1-1.
Ben Amos had to save at the near post with Charlton's defending again in question.
Wimbledon recovered from a corner to enable Csoka to take advantage of a free header to make it 1-2 at the break.
HT: 1-2.
Watson drew a save from the keeper following a Charlton free kick. Maddison put a good ball into Bogle, but he couldn't get it out from under his feet. On 52 minutes Aneke and Williams came on in place of Bogle and Gilbey.
Aneke got a yellow card and then the keeper Truman tested the referee's patience too far and got one for time wasting.
After good work by Washington, Gilbey set up Forster-Caskey who scored the equaliser.
On 64 minutes Gunter set up his Welsh colleague Williams to make it 3-2.
On 84 minutes Washington did well to keep the ball alive. Purrington, who had just come on in place of Maddison, put the ball across to Aneke who made it 4-2 with a workmanlike goal. All of Aneke's six goals have been scored as a substitute.
Wimbledon continued to threaten and Oshilaja replaced Washington.
Maatsen had a great second half and did well to keep the ball alive in time added on. Williams passed to Purrington who made it 5-2.
Unfortunately it looks as if Famewo is out for nine weeks after his freak training ground injury.
Lee Bowyer told Richard Cawley: /From start to finish we were very good, apart from a lack of concentration for five minutes - they went bang, bang and scored two goals from nowhere.'
