Lack of success at home for Charlton

FT: Charlton 0 Bolton 1

Charlton’s poor home form continued as Bolton secured a 1-0 win at The Valley through captain Kevin Nolan.

Without leading scorer Darren Bent, the Addicks – with a 100% away record - lacked bite in attack, and missed several good chances after dominating much of the game.

However, Nolan netted the decisive strike from close range on 72 minutes to give the visitors all three points.

Matt Holland replaced Radostin Kishishev with 14 minutes left, as Johansson was pushed into attack.

For the final eight minutes, Okocha came on in place of Diouf, and Tal Ben Haim then replaced Nakata.

It needed a fine reaction save from Jaaskelainen to deny Johansson an equaliser with his point-blank header in the closing stages.
