Ghana goalkeeper Joe Wollacott was in action for Charlton Athletic in their 1-0 win over Derby County in the English Football League One on Saturday.

The home side were fortunate to be level at the interval after Liam Rosenior’s County created and wasted a slew of chances in the south London heat.
Striker James Collins guided his ninth-minute shot too close to Charlton goalkeeper Wollacott and then struck another effort against the base of the post in the final act of the first half.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing also tested Wollacott on two occasions as Derby dominated.
After the recess, Charlton took the lead in the 62nd minute as Charlie Kirk fed Albie Morgan, whose rising shot was parried carelessly into the path of Blackett-Taylor by Derby keeper Joe Wildsmith and the winger tapped into an empty net with glee.
Charlton held on to pick up their first win of the season.
Wollacott joined Charlton on a three-year deal as a free agent following the expiration his contract at Swindon Town where he made 39 appearances last season and helped them to the League Two play-offs.
