Charlton Athletic's Under-23 side fell short in their Premier League Cup last-16 tie with Fulham this afternoon as they suffered a 2-1 defeat after extra-time at The Valley.

There were a handful of first-team players named in the Addicks' starting line-up ahead of the clash including Chuks Aneke and Jake Forster-Caskey, with this pair recovering from injuries which have hampered their progress this term.

However, these two players could not prevent Charlton from suffering the loss as goals from Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Matt O'Riley sealed Fulham the victory following Josh Davison's opener for the south Londoners.

This Under-23s' defeat comes as the latest blow for Charlton following their recent run of disappointing form in the Championship, with Lee Bowyer's men having now lost their last three matches to plunge themselves into serious danger of relegation.

The Addicks have developed a concerning habit of conceding late goals so far this campaign, and this was the case in one of these three recent defeats as Sheffield Wednesday scored at the death to seal all three points back in late February.

It now appears as though Charlton's Under-23s have now become the latest victim of this alarming tendency in the club as they conceded in the 91st minute against Fulham to take the clash to extra-time, with Taylor-Crossdale finding the net before O'Riley's winner for the Cottagers.
