Lee Bowyer had a dream start as Charlton caretaker boss as his side beat in-form Plymouth 2-0.

The former Addicks, Leeds and West Ham midfielder was placed in temporary charge after Karl Robinson's departure to Oxford earlier this week. Lewis Page got Bowyer's reign off to a flyer with his first senior goal, a cracker from the edge of the area, after just three minutes.

Wolves loanee Michal Zyro added a second to deal Plymouth a first defeat in nine matches and give Charlton's hopes of reaching the playoffs a shot in the arm.
