Charlton’s Under-18 side were beaten by Cardiff in the third round of the FA Youth Cup at The Valley on Tuesday evening.

The young Addicks had the better of things but were foiled by a speculative thirty yard effort from Cardiff’s Jamie Veale, five minutes from time.

Charlton generally do well in the competition and they will be disappointed by their early elimination.
