Peeters delighted by shock Charlton win

Charlton Athletic boss Bob Peeters has praised his side following their shock win over Norwich City in the Championship.

The Addicks caused a big upset at Carrow Road on Tuesday night thanks to a 1-0 victory against the league leaders.

The match looked to be heading for a draw before Johnnie Jackson found the net with four minutes remaining to hand Charlton the three points.

"When we got in a half time without conceding we knew they were under pressure and their crowd was getting frustrated. We just had to stick to our game plan and we knew the chances would come," Peeters is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We defended very well and when we got a chance we took it, although I don't think it would have gone in without the deflection. To be unbeaten after 10 games is very good and I am pleased my players have been rewarded for all their hard work."

Tuesday's win has seen Charlton move up to seventh place in the Championship table.
