Charlton Athletic 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday
League One leaders Sheffield Wednesday set a new club record in the English Football League when they went 20 games unbeaten with a win at Charlton Athletic.
The Owls hit the post through Barry Bannan before taking the lead through Liam Palmer in the ninth minute.
Palmer had time and space from 10 yards to control Jaden Brown’s pass before sliding past Charlton keeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer.
Maynard-Brewer made a first-half save from Palmer and Dominic Iorfa, while Addicks defenseman Lucas Ness was denied by Josh Windass with a perfectly timed tackle.
But Wednesday weren’t so sure after the restart. Charlton striker Miles Leaburn drilled a try over the goal while goalkeeper Cameron Dawson turned a sizzling low shot from Corey Blackett-Taylor around his right post.
Iorfa made a crucial tackle against Leaburn after Dawson was only able to parry an attempt from 20 meters by Addick’s substitute Chuks Aneke.
Wednesday retained 19th in the league without conceding and now sit three points clear of second-placed Plymouth, who lost 2-5 at Peterborough.
