Swansea City ended their Championship season on a high note, securing a 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic at the Swansea.com Stadium. Substitute Adam Idah was the hero, netting a late double, complemented by a spectacular free-kick from Leo Walta, ensuring a memorable finish to the campaign.

The match appeared headed for a goalless draw between two sides with little to play for until Adam Idah broke the deadlock. With just 16 minutes remaining, the Republic of Ireland international met Josh Key's precise pass with a crisp, first-time finish, putting the Swans ahead.

Charlton Athletic quickly equalized through another substitute, Miles Leaburn, who headed home from Sonny Carey's corner. However, Nathan Jones' side were level for only three minutes before 19-year-old academy product Thomas Woodward, making his senior debut, centered for Idah to steer in his second goal, aided by a deflection off MacAulay Gillesphey.

January signing Leo Walta added a layer of gloss to Swansea City's triumph. He scored his memorable first goal for the club with a curling effort from 25 yards that bounced into the net off the post, sealing the 3-1 win.

This victory sees Swansea City finish the 2025-26 Championship season in 11th place for the second consecutive year, improving their points tally by three compared to last season. Under Vitor Matos, the club has shown a significant upturn in fortunes since November, heading into the summer with renewed momentum and hopes for future progress.

Charlton Athletic, meanwhile, finished 19th, their highest EFL position in 11 years, despite ending the campaign with only one win in their final nine games. Adam Idah's late goals were a welcome boost for the forward, who has played second fiddle to Championship top scorer Zan Vipotnik during an injury-hit first season in Wales, contributing to Swansea's impressive home form.
