Charlton had twice fought back to be level in the game before they went down to ten men when Tayo Edun was sent off the 86th minute.

Northampton then put the final nail in the coffin for Appleton with a 97th minute Louis George Appere winner.

It left Charlton languishing in 16th in the table.

They have not won in the league since Novemer 28 when they beat Cheltenham.
