Half-time at The Valley

Charlton Athletic 0-1 Reading

Charlton’s situation towards the bottom of the Championship appears all the more difficult as Reading lead here at the halfway point.

George Puscas converted an early spot-kick to hand the Royals the lead, this after Adedeji Oshilaja was clumsy on Andy Rinomhota.

Chuks Aneke had the ball in the net, only to be ruled off-side, while Macauley Bonne missed aglorious opportunity as the Addicks rallied. But Lee Bowyer’s men will require far more after the interval as the trap door continued to creak benieth them.
