Bradford 0-1 Charlton: One goal enough for Addicks

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Bradford and Charlton.

Jake Forster-Caskey's goal gave Charlton Athletic a 1-0 win at Sky Bet League One promotion rivals Bradford in a match spoiled by high wind and rain.

The goal came following a hotly disputed throw in on the right after 74 minutes. Chris Solly crossed the ball to the far post where Tariqe Fosu helped the ball back across goal for Forster-Caskey to sweep into the net.

Charlton's win enabled them to draw level with Bradford in third place on 27 points. It was City's third home defeat in the league.

In a match dominated by defences, Charlton were indebted to keeper Ben Amos, who made three important saves to help his side to take all three points.

He kept out a close-range header from Bradford striker Charlie Wyke in the 27th minute following a free-kick from Alex Gillead and then turned away a goalbound effort from Omari Patrick.
