Luton 1 - 3 Charlton

Charlton Athletic had to come from behind before beating non-league Luton in their FA Cup second-round replay.

Zdenek Kroca capitalised on a melee in the Charlton goalmouth to put the Hatters ahead on 38 minutes.
But the Addicks drew level through a Scott Wagstaff header right on the stroke of half-time.
And the League One side booked a trip to Tottenham in the third round thanks to a goal apiece from Joe Anyinsah and Johnnie Jackson in the second half.
Anyinsah flicked in Matt Fry's low shot before former Tottenham player Jackson made the tie safe.


Jackson's free-kick was deflected into the back of the net to set up a clash with his old club in the next round.
It was the midfielder's ninth goal of the season on the day he picked up the League One player of the month award for November.

Luton Town manager Richard Money told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"For a game and a half we've totally dominated a team that are second in League One.
"To go and do it for another 45 minutes against a team in your own league would have been difficult.
"We've lost two sickening goals - both deflections - and you look at it and say 'it's not our night'."
