Charlton Athletic 2 - 0 Huddersfield Town 28th Nov 2011 Huddersfield's record-breaking 43-game unbeaten run came to an end as Charlton extended their lead at the head of League One to seven points with a 2-0 victory at The Valley.
Yann Kermorgant and Hogan Ephraim were on target in the first half and Lee Clark's side were unable to recover despite staging a second half rally.
Huddersfield remain outside the automatic promotion places after their first league defeat in 11 months but a sixth successive win for Chris Powell's Charlton tightened their grip on the division's promotion race.
Charlton took control of the game when Kermorgant gave the home side the lead in the 24th minute.
The forward outjumped the visitors' defence to connect with Danny Green's cross and his well-placed header found the back of the net.
Charlton continued to press and got their reward in the 41st minute when Ephraim doubled the lead.
Bradley Wright-Phillips again tested Ian Bennett after a powerful run but while the keeper fended the striker's shot away, on-loan QPR midfielder Ephraim reacted first inside a crowded area to finish.
Within two minutes of the restart Kermorgant leaped to send a header crashing against the Huddersfield bar and the striker again came close with a powerful free-kick.
The visitors pressed in an effort to extend their remarkable run and twice struck the woodwork but Charlton's defence remained solid and Town's streak was over. source: http://soccernet.espn.go.com
