Huddersfield extended their unbeaten League One run to six games with a home victory over 10-man Charlton.

Centre-back Matty Pearson put Huddersfield ahead, putting a difficult header in off the underside of the bar.

Pearson struck the bar again from another set-piece five minutes later, but this time it came back out.

Brodie Spencer's clumsy challenge on former Huddersfield team-mate Rarmani Edmonds-Green gave Charlton a penalty that Matty Godden put away for 1-1.

But the Addicks were reduced to 10 men four minutes later, with Greg Docherty earning a straight red card for a high, late boot on Nigel Lonwijk.

The visitors nonetheless started the second half brightly before Huddersfield woke up around the hour and made their advantage count, with David Kasumu smashing home a left-footed drive from 18 yards.

Charlton tried to find a last-second equaliser from a quickly-taken free-kick, but Huddersfield goalkeeper Jacob Chapman showed brilliant awareness to race off his line and ensure victory with a clean challenge on Luke Berry.
