Idah's Double Secures Swansea Season-Ending Win Over Charlton

Sky Sports Champions League •

Adam Idah's late double capped Swansea's season with a 3-1 victory over Charlton at the Swansea.com Stadium. The Republic of Ireland international, introduced as a 65th-minute substitute, struck twice in nine minutes to seal an 11th-placed finish in the Championship for the second consecutive season - though with three more points than last term.

Miles Leaburn had cancelled out Idah's opening goal before the substitute's second effort, deflected off MacAulay Gillesphey, restored Swansea's lead. Leo Walta added a stunning free-kick in the 88th minute - his first goal for the club - to complete the scoring. Charlton finished 19th despite the defeat, but that represents their highest finish for 11 years after promotion from League One last season.

The game lacked intensity with nothing at stake for either side. Zan Vipotnik, whose 23 league goals made him the Championship's leading scorer, may have played his last game for Swansea with several European clubs monitoring his situation.
