Harry Charsley struck late to maintain Oldham’s perfect start to the new Vanarama National League season in a 1-0 victory at Wealdstone.

A hard-fought match appeared to be heading for a draw until a Mike Fondop corner was headed into the net by Charsley in the 85th minute.

It was Charsley’s second goal of the season following his strike in the 3-0 rout of Braintree last week.

Wealdstone created few chances and they suffered the late indignity of seeing Christian Scott sent off for a foul on Fondop in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
