Norwich win 3-1 at Charlton

Norwich City ended a six-match losing run by beating Charlton Athletic 3-1 at The Valley in the Sky Bet Championship. The first goal came from Charlie Kelman in the tenth minute. The home side pressed the visitors early, and that pressure led to the goal.

The visitors drew level through Paris Maghoma. Mathias Kvistgaarden then put Norwich ahead. The goal that sealed the match came from an own goal by Ivan Mesik.

The win eased the position of head coach Philippe Clement somewhat. Norwich's poor results in recent weeks had led to criticism around the manager. The three points gave the club a useful boost as it reconsiders its goals in the league.
