A total of 49 days was the amount of time that Charlton striker Charlie Kelman was out due to injury.

It took him only 17 minutes to get himself on the scoresheet after coming off the bench. It’s now two goals in two appearances for the American striker.

A timely reminder ahead of a busy festive period of the quality the striker can add to the Charlton attack to move them up the Championship table.

Kelman made the move in the summer from east to south London after getting 28 goals and assists for Leyton Orient in the last campaign.

He has struggled to light up The Valley so far but this substitute performance against Oxford United is just what the doctor ordered, or maybe it was Santa?!
