Johnnie Jackson’s spectacular free-kick was enough to give Charlton all three points against fellow promotion chasers Sheffield Wednesday in League 1 on Saturday.

The Addicks skipper struck a sweet effort into the top corner past former Charlton keeper Nicky Weaver on 28 minutes for the game’s only goal.

Jackson’s (pictured) left-foot shot came after a strong start from the visitors at Hillsborough, which included an early effort from leading scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Chris O’Grady went closest for Wednesday in the first half when he saw a shot drift wide while Reda Johnson warmed the palms of Charlton keeper Ben Hamer, who was back in the team after missing last week's FA Cup defeat at Fulham through suspension.

After the break, Charlton held on for the win despite a surge of pressure from Wednesday, including another O’Grady effort which was skewed wide. Former Charlton defender Miguel Angel Llera was among the second half changes along with striker Ryan Lowe, but Gary Megson’s side could not find a way through.

Charlton are now four points clear of second-placed Sheffield United, who they take on at The Valley next Saturday.

How big a win is this in Charlton's promotion push? Can they do a double over the Sheffield sides next weekend?
