Huddersfield extended their unbeaten League One run to six games with a 2-1 home victory over 10-man Charlton.

Centre-back Matty Pearson put Huddersfield ahead, putting a difficult header in off the underside of the bar.

Pearson struck the bar again from another set piece five minutes later, but this time it came back out.

Brodie Spencer’s clumsy challenge on former Huddersfield team-mate Rarmani Edmonds-Green gave Charlton a penalty that Matty Godden put away for 1-1.

But the Addicks were reduced to 10 men four minutes later, with Greg Docherty earning a straight red card for a high, late boot on Nigel Lonwijk.

The visitors nonetheless started the second half brightly before Huddersfield woke up around the hour and made their advantage count, with David Kasumu smashing home a left-footed drive from 18 yards.

Charlton tried to find a last-second equaliser from a quickly-taken free-kick, but Huddersfield goalkeeper Jacob Chapman showed brilliant awareness to race off his line and ensure victory with a clean challenge on Luke Berry.
