Charlton Athletic boss Chris Powell admits his delight with his side's 4-3 win over Watford this afternoon.

Charlton Athletic boss Chris Powell has revealed his delight with his side's 4-3 win over Watford.

The high-scoring encounter at Vicarage Road was the Addicks' first win in seven games.

Powell claimed that the Championship clash was a "sensational game" and insisted that his side deserved to take all three points.

"We had a tough December - three draws, three losses - after having a very good November, so it's a real positive result for us and a good way for us to kick off the new year," said Powell.

"It was a sensational game. Both teams played their part in what was a great game for everyone watching but I felt on the balance overall we just about deserved it.

"But they had some good chances, my keeper made a couple of good blocks, but overall we had 10 chances to their five and it was good that we took four of them."

The result leaves Charlton in 15th place in the Championship table.
