Charlton Athletic secured Championship survival thanks to stunning strikes from Charlie Kelman and Jayden Fevrier as they beat Hull City at The Valley.

Kelman curled a sumptuous effort into the top corner to give the Addicks the lead before John Egan headed Hull level in the seventh minute of first-half added time.

The Tigers were much improved after the break, spurred on by the introduction of Mohamed Belloumi off the bench, but the hosts retook the lead when Fevrier darted past two challenges to fire beyond Ivor Pandur into the bottom corner.

Paddy McNair missed a big chance late on after Addicks keeper Thomas Kaminski made a mess of his attempt to claim a long throw but the former Middlesbrough defender could not get the desired connection on his volley.

With Pandur scrambling back after going up for a Hull corner, Fevrier ran the length of the pitch and almost scored a stunning second goal, however hie shot was brilliantly cleared off the line by Kyle Joseph.

The result, coupled with West Bromwich Albion's draw with Ipswich Town, confirms Oxford United's relegation to League One ahead of their match against Sheffield Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Hull miss the chance to climb back into the play-off spots, with Wrexham facing champions Coventry City on Sunday.

After scoring 27 goals in a ruthless loan spell at Leyton Orient last season, Kelman has not always found life easy since moving to The Valley.

Seven goals in 35 appearances going into this game represented a moderate return, but today he showed Addicks fans what he is made of.

Picking up Conor Coady's pass wide on the left, the 24-year-old cut inside Semi Ajayi and Lewie Coyle to bend a sumptuous strike into the top corner.

A goal-of-the-season contender for sure.

Nathan Jones will have been disappointed they went in level, having been so dominant at times in the opening 45 minutes.

And despite a much better performance from Hull in the second half, Fevrier's 68th-minute goal was the one settle the game. And it was equally as impressive.

Had the 23-year-old finished off his effort right at the end then Charlton's goal of the season reel this season could well have had three entries from the same game.

It has been a long, hard season for the Addicks but they can finally plan for a second Championship campaign, with total certainty.

This was a big blow for Hull's push for a chance to secure a return to the Premier League for the first time since 2016-17.

Sergej Jakirovic's side look to be running out of steam right at the end of the season, it's now six games without a win for the Tigers.

Defence has been the big problem - they have conceded more goals than any other side in the top 11 and have kept one clean sheet in 11 games.

Hull's last win came against Sheffield Wednesday more than one month ago.

Since then have dropped from fifth to seventh and with defeat at The Valley, it is now out of their hands.

Should Wrexham win at Coventry on Sunday, the Red Dragons would have a three-point cushion over Hull with just one game of the season remaining.

Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones told BBC Radio London:

"I'm delighted. Relief is the biggest thing because I don't think we should have been in this position after the start to the season [we had] with the group we've got.

"We know we're playing in a very difficult league and maybe lack a little bit of the quality that others have to put teams to bed.

"If you'd asked me at the beginning of the season if I'd taken this, I probably wouldn't.

"For us to move and do what we want to do next year, the first stage is we have to be a Championship side.

"And we've done that, and I'm proud of the group because we've had a tough time this year."

Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:

"We didn't score more goals than Charlton, it's very simple. First half we did not play good, I was not satisfied with our performance because we didn't do anything really, very, very slow.

"We equalised through Egan, which is perfect for us and how we played. And in the second half I think we played much better, with Mo Belloumi's substitution, with some changes to the side on the pitch, and we had a few very good opportunities to score the second goal.

"We have to score a goal at this moment. Unfortunately we didn't and we conceded the second goal, which is unacceptable.

"That guy take [sic] the ball, through the pitch without any contact from three of our players. In this league, you must make a tactical foul.

"We tried everything, I don't know how many times we entered their box."
