Charlton Athletic 1 Derby County 1
Charlton's run without a win increased to six games after they
were held to a draw by Derby in the Championship at The Valley
on Saturday.
The home side broke the deadlock when a fine run and shot from
Danny Haynes put them in front after 19 minutes.
They could have doubled their advantage but Michael Morrison
(pictured) was unable to make the most of Yann Kermorgant’s cross
while, at the other end, Addicks keeper Ben Hamer denied Ben Davies
and Nathan Tyson.
Charlton looked capable of extending their lead after the break
with Bradley Pritchard going closest with an effort that hit the
bar.
But the home side paid for the price for not getting a second
when Morrison brought down Richard Keogh in the penalty area.
The Charlton player was dismissed, after being shown a second
yellow card, and Derby substitute Jamie Ward, who had only been on
the pitch for two minutes, equalised from the spot.
It almost got worse for Charlton when John Brayford's header
came back off the post.
