Charlton manager Nathan Jones hailed his side’s thumping 4-0 win over Huddersfield as a “complete” performance.
Tyreece Campbell led the way with two goals, sandwiched between Matty Godden’s first-minute opener and an own goal from goalkeeper Lee Nicholls, as the hosts claimed their eighth straight win at the Valley.
Jones, whose side tightened their grip on a play-off place, said: “From start to finish, I don’t think you’ll see a better League One performance than that.
“I don’t want to over-egg it, or be disrespectful to anyone, but that was complete.
“We were outstanding in both sides of the game, our press, our energy, how we moved the ball. To be fair, their keeper had an excellent game, but 4-0 didn’t flatter us.”
Jones reserved special praise for Campbell, adding: “Tyreece is a young player learning his trade. We’ve had a year with him, he’s developing and there’s plenty more to come.
“He’s a joy to work with, every day he works hard, he has a smile on his face. We love him. We have to keep him grounded and he has to respond. Which he has.”
It took just thirty seconds for Charlton to make their mark in a game they dominated throughout.
Thierry Small pounced on a loose ball from Huddersfield defender Radinio Balker and crossed into the box for Godden to head home.
The hosts doubled their advantage after 17 minutes as Luke Berry found Campbell, who fired home low from just inside the box.
Campbell struck again in the 53rd minute with a low drive before the fourth goal arrived after 60 minutes, Greg Docherty’s shot hitting the bar and then Nicholls before going in.
Hudderfield’s interim head coach Jon Worthington struggled to find positives.
He said: “We started really slowly, it was a disappointing goal to concede, and the lads never really recovered from that.
“I’ve been honest with them, they’re an honest group anyway, we didn’t win any first or second balls, which was very disappointing.
“The response after the first goal never happened and that was the frustrating thing. You can accept conceding a goal, but it’s how you get back in the game.
“League One is an unforgiving league, there’s some good opposition and unfortunately today we were short in a lot of areas.
“The only positive for me is that the (next) game comes Tuesday. Just like Charlton did after getting beaten last week, they reacted and responded, and we have to do the same.”
