Sky Sports Champions League •

Pelle Mattsson scored his first goal for Norwich since his summer move, giving the Canaries a 1-0 victory at Charlton. The 24-year-old midfielder found the net in the fifth minute with a right-footed strike through a crowded penalty area, moving Norwich into the Championship's top 10.

Norwich controlled much of the match as Paris Maghoma repeatedly troubled the Charlton defense. Vladan Kovacevic remained relatively untested in goal for the visitors, while Mannion made several key saves. Charlton's best chance came when Kane Ramsay hit the crossbar with a header.

Charlton pushed forward in the second after introducing substitute Miles Leaburn. The Addicks had penalty appeals waved away late in the match but couldn't break down Norwich's defense. Norwich comfortably held on to secure all three points against an opponent unbeaten in three games before this fixture.
