Johnnie Jackson feels Charlton got the goals their pressure earned at Cambridge

The Addicks are now unbeaten in four away games following a 2-0 success, with both goals coming via heavy deflections in the final 20 minutes.

Ben Worman diverted Corey Blackett-Taylor’s shot into his own net to open the scoring, before Chuks Aneke’s strike went in off his own team-mate Conor Washington to seal the three points 10 minutes from the end.

“It was quite a good game, considering you’ve got two teams with a dead rubber on paper, but both teams tried to win it, tried to play attacking football,” Jackson said afterwards. “They always attack and try and win and they’ve got a real threat so I thought we dealt with it pretty well in the main.

“I felt like we had the better chances on the night, and probably the majority of the play without absolutely dominating. My gut feeling, without watching it back, is that we probably deserved that win.

“I felt when we scored it was coming. The first half was pretty even, both teams had a couple of chances and we had probably the better ones.

“The start of the second half was quite even but then I thought we started to get a bit of a grip on it. Most of the play was going towards our fans behind the goal. It did feel like we were building up the pressure just before we scored.”
