Taylor on target again as Charlton dominate Walsall
Posted Wednesday, November 07, 2018 by PA
Lyle Taylor’s ninth league goal of the season helped Charlton climb back into League One’s play-off spots as the Addicks claimed a dominant 2-0 win at Walsall.
Taylor put Charlton ahead from the penalty spot after just six minutes, sending Liam Roberts the wrong way after Tariqe Fosu’s clever turn in the area drew a clumsy foul from George Dobson.
The lively Fosu had already curled inches over from 15 yards on three minutes but Charlton suffered a blow when Igor Vetokele was carried off on a stretcher with a shoulder injury.
The Angolan’s replacement, Karlan Grant, almost made it 2-0 from Taylor’s cross on the brink of half-time but Roberts’ fingertips foiled his header.
Charlton did double their lead in the 51st minute as a corner fell to Arsenal loanee Krystian Bielik six yards out and he lashed home.
Walsall took 77 minutes to register a shot on target as Morgan Ferrier’s strike brought a diving save from Jed Steer but the 10th-placed Saddlers slipped to a fourth defeat in five league games.
