LONDON (CMC and Reuters):
Jamaican internationals Jason Euell and Kevin Lisbie signalled their return from injury with goals for Charlton Athletic's Reserves earlier this week.
Both players, who have been on the injury list since late last year, scored in the second half as the south-east London club hammered Chelsea's Reserves 3-0 at home.
The 28-year old Euell was on target in the 62nd minute when he clinically headed home, after Jay Bothroyd's delicate chip was put through by Rurik Gislason.
Lisbie, who has been plagued by injury throughout his time at Charlton, then sealed the result six minutes from time when he collected Bothroyd's lobbed pass, to easily beat goalkeeper Lenny Pidgeley.
Earlier, Charlton had taken the lead through defender Osei Sankofa who scored from six yards out after a failed clearance at the goal mouth.

The victory for Charlton has taken them to within one point of leaders Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Celtic marked former Manchester United captain Roy Keane's home debut by beating Kilmarnock 4-2 to stay seven points clear of Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premier League yesterday.
The hosts went 2-0 up inside 15 minutes with a 25-metre free kick from Japanese international Shunsuke Nakamura and a penalty by Shaun Maloney.
Kilmarnock pulled one back when Steve Naismith sent Polish keeper Artur Boruc the wrong way from the penalty spot.
The visitors equalised after the break with a header from Danny Invincible but Celtic restored their advantage on 52 minutes when Stephen McManus bundled the ball home.
Polish striker Maciej Zurawski then scrambled the fourth goal with 24 minutes left.
Celtic have 54 points from 22 games. Second-place Hearts moved to 47 points with a 4-1 rout at Dunfermline Athletic.
