Charlton 2 Chelsea 1

Last updated : 13 March 2002 By David Robson
Charlton done the double over Chelsea today after a late winner from jason Euell. The Addicks had taken the lead in the second half after a great shot for Euell managed to get through everyone and put Charlton in the lead on the 75th minute.

Chelsea did equalise with eight minutes left on the clock by a goal from Frank Lampard, but on the 89th minute Jason Euell broke free and scored a great chip to make it 2-1 and sent the Charlton fans home happy.

The only real moments of excitement in a desperately dull first half were when referee Graham Poll snubbed what appeared a clear penalty for the Addicks after William Gallas' tackle on Euell - and when Charlton's Jorge Costa made a brilliant sliding tackle to deny Eidur Gudjohnsen.

But the second half was more entertaining. Charlton's Paul Konchesky let rip with a fine drive after a one-two with Euell early in the second half. Cudicini did very well to make a smart save low to his left.

And Charlton finally made their possession pay with a superb goal by Euell in the 71st minute. Powell launched a deep cross from the left and Svensson - enjoying a great performance after months of injury trouble - leaped highest to head the ball back to Euell, on the edge of the penalty area.

The former Wimbledon man calmly chested the ball down and smashed a brilliant right-foot volley into the bottom left corner for his 10th goal of the season.

Only a fantastic double-block by Gallas prevented the Addicks increasing their lead two minutes later.

But Chelsea equalised when Lampard smashed the ball home from six yards to level the scores with seven minutes left. Gudjohnsen won a great knockdown from Le Saux's far-post cross and Hasselbaink flicked the ball to the England international - who almost ripped the net with a blistering close-range finish.

And there was late drama when a lofted Chris Bart-Williams pass bounced through the Blues defence and Euell raced clear to dink a marvellous chip over Cudicini for the 88th-minute winner.
