Ghanaian goalkeeper Joseph Wollacott played a crucial role in Crawley Town’s 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in their League One encounter on Tuesday night. The shot-stopper, who earned a starting spot in the team for the away fixture, delivered a series of key saves to help his side claim all three points.
Crawley Town started brightly against their more favoured opponents, with Tola Showunmi equalising in the 33rd minute following an assist from Will Swan.
Despite being on the back foot, Crawley went into halftime with the score level, and Wollacott’s interventions ensured that they remained competitive.
Charlton responded strongly after the break, and in the 68th minute, Daniel Kanu netted the equaliser for the hosts.
However, Crawley Town regained the lead in the 80th minute with a strike from Max Anderson, which ultimately sealed the victory.
Wollacott’s composed performance throughout the match was a standout, and his ability to maintain focus in key moments proved vital to his team’s success.
The win lifted Crawley Town out of the relegation zone, moving them to 19th place in the League One standings.
The 28-year-old’s strong showing serves as a testament to his growing importance in the team, as he continues to provide steady and reliable performances for Crawley Town this season.
