Portsmouth's League One charge stalled as Charlton snaffle points from Fratton Park

Johnny Williams and Chuks Aneke did the damage to put paid to three league wins on the spin and a run of six successes from seven.

Kenny Jackett’s side had their moments and started strongly in each half before running out of ideas.

And for all their promising play Addicks keeper Ben Amos was rarely extended as his side leapfrogged Pompey in the table.

The Blues should have had the lead with the first chance of the match.

It was fine work from Marcus Harness to chase down the keeper and cut the ball back to Curtis, but the Irishman desperately blazed over from five yards.

Then Curtis rose high but made no connection from Lee Brown’s free-kick after nine minutes.

Darren Pratley then bizarrely went unpunished for a late studs-up lunge which caught Callum Johnson.

Charlton made Pompey pay for not making the most of their early promise as Williams opened the scoring after 66 minutes.

A diagonal crossfield ball was met by Ian Maatsen on first time on the run and there was the Welshman to fire home in front of Jack Whatmough.

Harness so nearly got on to a long throw from Whatmough 13 minutes before the break, after it was helped on by Raggett.

There was a change at the break as Rasmus Nicolaisen replaced Whatmough and Jackett switched to a 4-1-4-1 formation.

John Marquis had a decent opening with a header from Brown’s cross five minutes after the restart, but didn’t get enough on his connection.

It was Pompey asking the questions and pushing forward as they switched to a diamond with Ellis Harrison’s introduction for Harness in the 64th minute.

But there was little in the way of clearcut chances created for their pressing.

And they were punished with eight minutes left as Aneke settled it, heading home sub Paul Smyth’s cross at the back post.
