Charlton Athletic's victory over Hull City has guaranteed their safety in the Championship, while also dealing a significant blow to Hull's play-off aspirations. Jayden Fevrier's second-half goal sealed a 2-1 win for Charlton, ending a seven-game winless streak and ensuring their place in the Championship for another season. Hull, who had equalized through John Egan's header, have now gone six matches without a win, taking just four points from a possible 18. The Tigers' play-off hopes are now hanging by a thread, with Wrexham's results potentially ending their chances.
Charlton opened the scoring through Charlie Kelman's sublime strike, before Egan leveled the score with a header from a corner. Fevrier's mazy dribble and finish restored Charlton's lead, securing a vital win for the Addicks. Charlton manager Nathan Jones expressed relief at securing safety, while Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic lamented his side's inability to win during this crucial part of the season.
