Ghana goalkeeper Joe Wollacott churned an impressive display for Charlton Athletic as they rounded off their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 defeat against Swansea City at The Valley on Saturday.

The 25-year-old lasted the entire duration of the game and several important saves to prevent the Swans from scoring more goals.

The Addicks got off to the perfect start in SE7, taking the lead after just four minutes as Albie Morgan’s relentless pressure forced Darling to pass straight into his own net with goalkeeper Andy Fisher left helpless.

Morgan gave Charlton the lead in the opening on 22 minutes of the game.

Swansea levelled proceedings eight minutes after the restart as Matt Grimes’ corner fell favourably for Piroe, who rifled home from close range.

Only the heroics of Joe Wollacott prevented Swansea from taking the lead, the Ghanaian international denying Michael Obafemi one-on-one after Ryan Inniss had ceded possession.

And the stopper soon produced a pair of outstanding stops in as many minutes, first tipping over Piroe’s effort before getting a strong hand on Grimes’ low drive.

Two Swansea substitutes combined to give Russell Martin’s side the lead five minutes from time, as Manning turned home Cameron Congreve’s centre to earn the Swans victory in the capital.
