This late strike not only secured the victory but also highlighted Charlton’s ability to remain composed and capitalise on crucial moments. The goal was a testament to their persistence and tactical discipline, as they managed to break through West Brom’s defense when it mattered most.

Charlton Athletic lined up in a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Thomas Kaminski in goal and a back three of Kayne Ramsay, Lloyd Jones, and Macaulay Gillesphey. The midfield was anchored by Conor Coventry, with James Bree, Sonny Carey, and Greg Docherty providing support and creativity.
