Michael Appleton wins first home game as Charlton boss as Wycombe beaten

Wycombe Wanderers’ five-match unbeaten streak in League One was ended as Charlton head coach Michael Appleton won his first home game in charge 3-1.

The Addicks took the lead in the 27th minute after Miles Leaburn scored his first league goal of the season.

The teenager drilled across keeper Max Stryjek after excellent approach play by Tyreece Campbell.

Chairboys striker Sam Vokes headed a Luke Leahy free-kick against the crossbar just before the interval.

Wycombe made it 1-1 after 54 minutes as West Ham loanee Freddie Potts volleyed home his first senior goal from the edge of the box after Garath McCleary’s corner was only partially cleared.

Two Charlton substitutes combined to restore the hosts’ lead. Slobodan Tedic did not connect cleanly with Tennai Watson’s cross but it curled past Stryjek just two minutes after the on-loan Manchester City frontman had been introduced to the action.

Corey Blackett-Taylor, a livewire menace throughout, settled the contest in stoppage time, cutting in from the right of the penalty area before clinically finishing.
