Cheltenham Town 1-3 Charlton Athletic

Late strikes from Tyreeq Bakinson and Alfie May earned Charlton victory at Cheltenham to ease their relegation fears.

The improving Addicks took a first-half lead through Daniel Kanu before Liam Sercombe's 70th-minute leveller set up a tense finish.

But the late double lifted Nathan Jones' side seven points clear of their hosts and the drop zone.

It took 19 minutes for them to break the deadlock, with Conor Coventry releasing Tennai Watson on the right and his low ball was turned in by Kanu for his 10th of the season.

May was denied by Liam Kinsella's block in the box and Luke Southwood foiled another effort from the ex-Cheltenham striker, who skewed the rebound wide.

Matty Taylor saw a low shot deflected wide, but Charlton were on top for much of the first half.

Cheltenham equalised when Jordan Thomas weaved past two defenders and forced Harry Isted into a low save, but he could only parry it to Sercombe, who tapped home.

However, Bakinson struck four minutes from the end with a low shot that Southwood reached - but could not keep out - after George Dobson's pass.

And former Robins hero May added the third in the 90th minute, tapping into an empty net after collecting Freddie Ladapo's pass as Charlton extended their unbeaten run to six.
