Charlton slumped to their seventh defeat in nine league games with defeat at home by Brentford, prompting the Addicks to dismiss coach Guy Luzon.

John Swift opened the scoring for the visitors with a 26th-minute header and Alan Judge's delightful curling effort on 55 minutes made it 2-0.

Substitute Lasse Vibe added a third five minutes from time to lift Brentford up to 12th in the league.

It was Lee Carsley's third win on the bounce after taking charge last month.

Franck Moussa had a great chance for Charlton after just four minutes but the unmarked Belgian was off target from 10 yards after a nice cross from Tony Watt.

Brentford opened the scoring after the lively Judge added another assist to his tally as he whipped in an inviting cross from the right and Swift all too easily planted his header beyond Stephen Henderson.

Alan McCormack's pile-driver from 25 yards then smacked the crossbar after he was teed up by Marco Djuricin. After the break Judge added a second when he advanced to the edge of the box and clipped a lovely effort into the top corner.

Charlton were all out of fight and Vibe sealed victory when he latched on to Judge's inch-perfect pass and beat Henderson at the near post.

Brentford head coach Lee Carsley:

"It's not a first time manager's role. It's not a see how you get on, it's a big job with a forward thinking club potentially going to the Premier League. I don't feel I am the right person for that.

"I thought we performed better at Wolves. At Wolves we controlled the game from start to finish but I didn't think we did that today.

"I thought we rode our luck in the first 20 minutes. It was important not to give Charlton any lifts and we did that for the first 20 minutes.

"The way we took our chances, the way we pressured them, we won the ball back quickly, we did all the basics well."
