Charlton 2-3 Morecambe: Carl Stockton bags brace as Shrimps boost survival hopes with Charlton win
Saturday 22 April 2023 18:13, UK
Carl Stockton scored a brace to give Morecambe’s League One survival chances a huge boost as they beat Charlton 3-2.
The visitors took an eighth-minute lead when the forward hit a stunning strike from distance past Ashley Maynard-Brewer.
Morecambe continued to look dangerous in attack and Arthur Gnahoua saw his solo run blocked after 14 minutes by George Dobson.
Charlton looked ineffective in attack as their opponents were looking ever more confident.
Stockton should have doubled the lead when unmarked from five yards out before the break, but Maynard-Brewer made him lift his effort over the crossbar.
