Wrexham beat Charlton to stay in play-off spots

Wrexham secured a 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic thanks to Ollie Rathbone's volley, keeping them in the Championship play-off spots with a four-point cushion.

Manager Phil Parkinson praised his side's resilience after overcoming a physical challenge from Charlton to clinch all three points. The victory ensures Wrexham remain in the top six regardless of next weekend's FA Cup fixture against Chelsea.

Charlton boss Nathan Jones admitted his team were excellent but questioned how they failed to capitalize on their dominance to avoid defeat.
