Charlton handed manager Alan Curbishley the perfect present on his 46th birthday as they cruised to victory over Fulham.

Graham Stuart put the home side ahead before striker Jonatan Johansson wrapped up the points with a deserved brace.

Charlton's first-ever Premiership victory over Fulham saw them leapfrog their London rivals and climb to fourth place in the table.

Curbishley's side had all the early chances in a sizzling encounter and it was no surprise when they took the lead thanks to some good build-up play.

Johannsson picked up a diagonal pass from Claus Jensen but the Finn's shot was parried by Edwin van der Saar.

The ball fell straight to Stuart who effortlessly swept home his first goal in two seasons from eight yards.

Charlton continued to push forward and a usually flowing Fulham midfield struggled to get a foot hold at The Valley.

Scott Parker was in sensational form for the home side conjuring five shots in the opening 25 minutes - the best chance a 40-yard strike which just shaved the bar.

But Chris Coleman's side refused to bow under the pressure and Louis Saha was unlucky not to grab an equaliser.

The Frenchman raced onto a through-pass from the lively Luis Boa Morte only to lose his balance and the ball as he closed down on Dean Kiely.

The Addicks keeper had another lucky escape when Junichi Inamoto spotted him off his line.

The Japanese midfielder unleashed a volley from 40-yards out only to see his shot land on the roof of the net.

Out-of-favour Charlton striker Jason Euell was given the chance to prove himself, coming on in place of Jensen who injured his right knee just before the break.

The game continued at pace after the restart with chances at both ends.

On-loan Arsenal defender Moritz Volz's cross was met by Lee Clark whose angled left-foot volley was safely caught by Kiely.

But it was Charlton who made their chances count and striker Johansson grabbed his first goal in eight months in the 69th minute.

Euell chested down a pass from Kevin Lisbie and knocked it back to the Finn who blasted it past Van der Saar.

Johansson then seized advantage of an uncontrolled back pass from Andy Melville to slot home his second eight minutes later.

Sean Davis, making his first appearance for Fulham this season, grabbed a late consolation goal for the visitors in the 89th minute.
