Charlton Athletic kept their hopes of a top-10 finish in League 1 alive with a 3-1 victory over Rochdale at The Valley on Monday.

Midfielder Therry Racon, pictured, opened the scoring for the hosts shortly after the half-hour mark with his sixth goal of the season from just outside the box.

The visitors equalised four minutes into the second half through defender Marcus Holness' header from a corner, only for on-loan Spurs star Dean Parrett to restore the Addicks' advantage less than 60 seconds later with a low drive from 25 yards.

Nathan Eccleston sealed victory 13 minutes from time when he headed in a superb cross from Paul Benson which all-but ended Rochdale's play-off hopes.

The Addicks sit 13th with two games remaining, but are only two points outside the top 10.
