Leitao's golden goal
Jorge Leitao set Walsall on their way to the upset of the FA Cup fourth round with a stunning goal against Charlton at The Valley.

The Portuguese striker, recalled to the starting line-up by new boss Colin Lee after being dropped in recent weeks, scored both goals in the Saddlers' 2-1 win.

But it was his opener after just five minutes which really caught the eye.

Leitao robbed Chris Bart-Williams then skipped clear of a tackle before advancing menacingly to the edge of the area.

The Charlton defence fatally backed off, allowing Leitao to beat goalkeeper Dean Kiely with a perfect chip into the top right-hand corner.

Another cool finish from the Portuguese in the second half put Walsall out of reach - and left Charlton licking their wounds.
