Bradley Wright-Phillips kept up his red-hot scoring streak as Charlton stormed to a 4-0 win at Hartlepool in League 1.

An unchanged side made it three wins on the bounce and frontman Wright-Phillips (pictured) bagged his 11th and 12th goals of the season to put the Addicks 2-0 ahead after just 37 minutes.

His first on nine minutes was a neat left-foot finish into the bottom corner and the second an equally impressive strike outside the box.

Both goals owed much to an impressive display from left back Rhoys Wiggins, who laid on the valuable assists.

Danny Hollands stretched the advantage to 3-0 after the break on 55 minutes with a close range header from Johnnie Jackson's free-kick. Scott Wagstaff then rounded off the scoring with six minutes to go.

His strike from 12 yards was more than enough to beat Hartlepool keeper Scott Flinders, who could only watch the ball sail into the top left-hand corner.

The win maintains Chris Powell's side's three-point lead at the top of the table after fellow promotion chasers Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday also picked up away wins.
