After taking a first half lead through Steve Finney and conceding an equaliser on the stroke of half-time, the Town are controversially denied a goal to regain the lead - and they are made to pay when Dean Saunders nets a winner nine minutes from time.
The Addicks move level on points with the Town in the league table, with an easy 2-0 victory.
