Match in Five Sentences: Charlton Athletic were beaten 2-1 by Ipswich Town at The Valley. Greg Docherty put Charlton ahead in the first minute with a composed finish. Darnell Furlong levelled (36.), then Jaden Philogene converted a penalty (58.) after Furlong drew a foul from Macauley Gillesphey. The Tractor Boys controlled 63.9% possession and out-shot the hosts 13 to six. The Tractor Boys rise from third to second and visit West Bromwich Albion next, while Charlton host Hull.
Player of the Match: Darnell Furlong equalised and won the match-deciding penalty, and added 55 accurate passes plus nine recoveries to tilt the game Ipswich's way.
Stat of the Match: The Tractor Boys completed 84.9% of their passes, a crisp platform for their comeback control.
Three Things We Learned: Charlton led early but produced only six attempts and 36.1% possession. Furlong's dual impact, his equaliser and the foul he won, swung the momentum to the visitors. The Tractor Boys climbed from third to second, tightening their grip on an automatic promotion place.
