Charlton v Crawley Match Report
Crawley Town pulled off a surprising 2-1 victory against Charlton Athletic at The Valley, frustrating Nathan Jones' side that was a 7/10 favourite at leading UK betting sites. Crawley’s defensive organisation and clinical finishing proved decisive, with goals from Showunmi and Anderson enough to secure the three points.
Charlton, buoyed by their emphatic FA Cup win over Walsall, struggled to replicate that form. Although Daniel Kanu’s equaliser offered hope, Anderson’s late winner dashed Charlton’s comeback aspirations, leaving the Addicks to ponder missed opportunities.
