Norwich City clinch early win to climb into top 10 | OneFootball

Norwich City beat Charlton Athletic 1-0 at The Valley to rise from 13th to 10th in the Championship.

In the fifth minute, Pelle Mattsson drove a right-footed shot into the top right from outside the box after Ali Ahmed's pass.

Will Mannion kept Charlton in contention with smart stops from Edmond-Paris Maghoma and Mattsson. At the other end, Vladan Kovacevic denied Greg Docherty after the restart.

After Miles Leaburn's introduction, the hosts upped the tempo and Kayne Ramsay thumped a header against the bar (65.). Tyreece Campbell's deliveries also asked questions, but the Canaries defended their box well.

Mattsson later received treatment and was replaced in the closing stages.

The Canaries had 60.7% possession and 17 attempts, finding the target five times. Charlton produced 12 attempts and hit the woodwork once.

Next, Charlton host Bristol City. The Canaries host Portsmouth.
