Charlton see off Fulham challenge

Charlton 2 Fulham 1

Jerome Thomas who penned an improved contract with the Addicks earlier this week swept home Shaun Bartlett's cross at the far post on 27 minutes, with Talal El Karkouri heading in a second after the break.

Fulham never looked like building on their impressive display against Manchester United last week, and a late goal from substitute Tomasz Radzinski was not enough to salvage anything.
