Jordan Graham scored his first senior goal for Wolves in his 14th appearance this season

Jordan Graham's first senior goal helped Wolves earn a straightforward victory against Charlton at The Valley.

The 20-year-old reacted quickest to a scramble in the box just after the break to fire the ball past goalkeeper Stephen Henderson.

Graham's late corner was met by captain Danny Batth, whose effort towards goal was deflected in by defender Harry Lennon to double the lead.

The Addicks only had two shots on target in a 13th defeat this season.

Wolves striker Benik Afobe's scuffed shot was the only effort on target from either side in a first half, which ended shortly after a collision between Charlton substitute Simon Makienok and referee Keith Hill.

The start of the second-half was delayed by 10 minutes as Hill had to be replaced, but the visitors threatened immediately as Graham curled the ball narrowly wide of the post after a quick break away.

Moments later Afobe turned Lennon, cut the ball back from the right byline and into the path of his midfield team-mate, who had the simplest of tap-ins.

Charlton struggled to win enough of the ball and took until the 71st minute to manage their first effort on target, but Makienok's header was easily saved.

With seven minutes of play left, the impressive Graham was once again involved as his inswinging corner caused mayhem and led to Lennon's own goal, which ensured Wolves secured back-to-back victories.

It was a fourth defeat in eight matches for the home side - who are now only two points above bottom-of-the-table Bolton.

Charlton interim boss Karel Fraeye:

"Focusing on the negativity won't help the players. As staff, we have to focus on what we must improve on. Nobody is happy at the situation which we are in.

"It was a tight first half, the second half we were at times less sharp in both boxes - defensively as well as offensively.

"We got punished for that. Wolves have the players with pace and technique to hurt us."

Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett:

"The first goal was pivotal, the first half there was once chance for Afobe who took it on his chest.

"The second period we got the first goal, which in the Championship is big, and that is the fifth game on the trot that we've got the first goal.

"After that we managed the game very well, and I am delighted to see that second one go in. Defensively we negated Charlton.

"We've been waiting for Jordan Graham to get that first goal, he's capable of cutting inside and shooting."
