A time added on goal by Harvey Knibbs gave Charlton a 1-0 opening win in the Championship at The Valley this afternoon.
It was a frenetic final few minutes with Watford feeling
they should have had a penalty when Thomas Kaminski crumpled Nestory Irankunda.
But on balance, Charlton carved out the better of the
chances and could have won by a larger margin had the cards fallen more kindly. Watford’s keeper made three excellent saves.
Both managers will no doubt have words to say about penalty
shouts with Charlton's Josh Edwards having a big shout when coming together
with Jeremy Ngakia earlier in the second half.
A corner on the left is slung to the back post by Conor
Coventry and Lloyd Jones does enough to get the ball back into the mixer where substitute Harvey Knibbs hammered
home from six yards out.
Towards the end of the second half, Robert Apter picked up
the ball on the right front edge and dances across just outside the 18 yard
area looking for an opening. He has a
go but his curling effort from 20 yards just fizzed over the upright.
Charlton looked defensively very solid, although crosses
sometimes posed a challenge.
