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 play-offs a shot in the arm.
With Blackburn not in action Shrewsbury took advantage with a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon taking them back into top spot.
Stefan Payne tucked away a cross from Carlton Morris for his 13th goal of the season shortly after half-time, and they held on despite a late red card for Bryn Morris.
Wigan moved up to second thanks to 2-0 win at basement boys Bury.
Nick Powell converted a Michael Jacobs cross for his 13th of the campaign to give them a 26th-minute lead and Chey Dunkley headed the second just after half-time.

Dominic Poleon's goal gave Bradford their first win under manager Simon Grayson at the fifth attempt.
Poleon struck from 25 yards three minutes into the second half as the Bantams sank Gillingham 1-0.
Fleetwood's recent revival continued with a 2-0 victory over Northampton, their first home win since the end of October.
Kyle Dempsey's first goal since last April after 18 minutes set the ball rolling and Cian Bolger wrapped up the three points seven minutes from time.
Former Millwall defender Tony Craig scored his first goal for Bristol Rovers but Danny Lloyd levelled four minutes later to secure a 1-1 draw for Peterborough.
Lowly Rochdale were on course for a third straight away win when Callum Camps thumped them ahead from long range but Scunthorpe snatched a point through Ivan Toney's header.
Goals in each half from Stephen McLaughlin and Simon Cox earned Southend a 2-0 win over Rotherham and MK Dons drew 0-0 at home to Blackpool.
On Sunday, Alex Mowatt missed a penalty and was sent off as Karl Robinson's first match in charge of Oxford ended in a 3-0 defeat to Portsmouth.
Kal Naismith put Pompey ahead in the fifth minute when he finished from a corner.
Mowatt then endured a nightmare minute in the second half when he hit the post with a penalty and was sent off for striking Nathan Thompson as he taunted him following the miss.
Brett Pitman scored twice afterwards to make sure of victory for Portsmouth, who move two points outside the play-off places in Sky Bet League One.
