Macauley Bonne put in a highly impressive performance for Charlton Athletic against Cardiff City, despite the team surrendering their 2-0 lead to draw.

This is especially impressive when it is remembered that he had to be cleared to take part after cardiac scans, having been forced to pull out of Zimbabwe national team duties, as reported by London News Online.

Following the game’s culmination, the striker sent a heartfelt message to the club’s supporters.

The 24-year-old was flooded with complimentary messages from appreciative Charlton fans in the replies to his tweet.

They felt that he gave a brilliant overall performance, with one fan naming Bonne as their Man of the Match.

This followed a display where he registered four shots, made four dribbles, while also completing 92% of the passes he attempted throughout the game.

The moment that really stood out was the striker’s involvement in Charlton’s first goal of the game: it was he who ran down the wing and beat two defenders, before playing the ball towards the six-yard box.

Therefore, despite it being Jonathan Leko who was accredited with the assist and Conor Gallagher scoring the goal, it is Bonne who takes most of the applause from Addicks fans.

The only thing that was missing for him was a goal, though there seems to be confidence that the ball will hit the back of the net for him soon.

This was the striker’s third game in a row without a goal, but this performance indicates he can make a difference for the team even when he doesn’t score.

Nevertheless, fans are hoping that he will be able to get back in and amongst the goals when Charlton face Luton Town on Tuesday.

In other news, Bonne may have added competition for places if Charlton’s proposed January swoop is made.
