Addicks’ smash and grab breaks white hearts

Tottenham 0 Charlton 1

Charlton became the latest side to prove too much for Spurs winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane to join Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Manchester United and Portsmouth as recent victors over Pleat and Co.

The Addicks' success was of the classic smash-and-grab variety. They soaked up piles of pressure and prevailed thanks to a combination of off-target Spurs shooting, superb goalkeeping by Dean Kiely and Carlton Cole's towering headed goal in the 69th minute.
