Decisive figure fires Wrexham to victory at Charlton | OneFootball

Oliver Rathbone settled Wrexham's trip with a left-footed strike from outside the box in the 30th minute, as Wrexham beat Charlton Athletic 1-0 at The Valley.

He had already sparked an attack, sliding a pass to Issa Kabore for a blocked effort (27.).

Minutes later, he stepped in from the left and drove a precise finish into the bottom right corner (30.).

After the restart he combined with Kieffer Moore to fashion another opening that was blocked (59.). He then won a free kick on the left to ease pressure and slow the game (69.).

He finished with two key passes, five possessions won and 24 of 28 passes completed, including seven successful balls in the final third, underlining how he linked midfield to attack and set the game's tempo.

Wrexham stay sixth in the Championship play-off places. They host Chelsea in the FA Cup next. Charlton host Birmingham next in the Championship.
