The lowdown on Charlton’s 3-1 win over Burton Albion.

Charlton’s 3-1 win today over Burton Albion – coupled with Wycombe going down by the same scoreline against Stockport – moved them up to fourth.

The Addicks announced last month that the 18-year-old had signed a new long-term contract.

It means that Nathan Jones’ side will have home advantage for the second leg of their play-off semi-final against Wycombe Wanderers.

The Addicks’ 3-0 loss at Wrexham on Saturday saw the hosts in party mood after they clinched second place in League One behind runaway leaders Birmingham City.

The Addicks bring the curtain down on their 46-game season with a home game against Burton Albion on Saturday.

Jones has been a pivotal figure in the South London club’s backline as they have kept a club record 23 clean sheets in the current campaign. He has made 38 appearances as well as scoring goals in wins over Wigan, Bolton and Wycombe Wanderers.

Charlton boss Jones has made the cut of four that are up for the accolade along with Chris Davies (Birmingham City), Phil Parkinson (Wrexham) and Richie Wellens (Leyton Orient).

The in-form Addicks, who have won five in a six-match unbeaten run, who need to inflict a defeat to keep alive their own top-two dream.

The former Arsenal, Birmingham and MK forward was shown a straight red card after an off-the-ball incident.

The Welsh side are hoping to make it back-to-back promotions and just a one season stay in England’s third tier.
