Charlton Athletic were a Twitter sensation on Monday night as they reacted to Bournemouth's 'promotion'.

The Cherries beat Bolton 3-0 to effectively secure a place in the Premier League next season, although it will not officially be confirmed until this weekend's clash at The Valley.

Eddie Howe's men are three points ahead of third-placed Middlesbrough with a plus-19 goal difference, and only never-seen-before events can stop their promotion.

Charlton reacted cheekily, though, tweeting: "Bournemouth celebrating like they've completely ruled out a 19-0 defeat at The Valley on Saturday. We'll see... #cafc."

The post was retweeted more than 35,000 times, with the Addicks' tongue-in-cheek message also favourited over 20,000 times.
