Match Preview

Benson ban blow Charlton boss Chris Powell will be without striker Paul Benson when his side host Brentford. The eight-goal striker will begin a four-match ban after being shown his second red card of the season during Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat against MK Dons for a dangerous tackle on midfielder Stephen Gleeson. Top-scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips is likely to be restored to the starting line-up in Benson's place. On-loan left-back Matt Fry returned to the squad in midweek and is pushing for a starting berth, but centre-back Gary Doherty remains sidelined with a hamstring problem. Midfielders Joe Anyinsah and Johnnie Jackson will also be missing with ankle and Achilles injuries respectively. Powell himself will serve a one-match touchline ban after being charged with misconduct by the FA following comments he made after last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tranmere. Brentford boss Nicky Forster will be without Charlie MacDonald for the trip. The 10-goal striker returned from a dead leg in time to make the starting line-up against Brighton on Tuesday night, but had to be withdrawn after suffering ankle ligament damage following a challenge from Radostin Kishishev. Robbie Simpson stepped off the bench to replace him and could start against the Addicks, although Lewis Grabban is another option. On-loan Sunderland midfielder Adam Reed is set to continue following his full debut in midweek, but fellow midfielder Sam Wood is not yet ready to return from a broken arm. Winger Myles Weston could return to the starting line-up as the the Bees look to avoid a third consecutive defeat.

Match Report

Legge leaves it late Leon Legge snatched an 89th-minute winner for Brentford at London rivals Charlton. Lewis Grabban went close for the Bees early on with a low drive from the edge of the area which Addicks goalkeeper Ross Worner did well to tip behind for a corner. Therry Racon's stinging shot on the quarter hour produced a decent stop from Bees shot-stopper Richard Lee, while Scott Wagstaff should have done better after 20 minutes when he blazed over from inside the box. Miguel Llera headed just over from a corner but a disappointing first half finished without a goal. Racon fired over from a good position early in the second half before Llera's 54th-minute header hit the crossbar. The Charlton defender was denied again moments later with a header which produced an outstanding reaction save from Lee. Legge claimed Llera had handled his header in the Charlton area but his penalty claims were ignored by the referee. But Legge had the last laugh when he headed home Myles Weston's corner to earn Brentford the bragging rights.
