Charlton Athletic 1 Birmingham City 1
Charlton were denied by an injury-time equaliser at home to
Birmingham on Saturday.
The Addicks looked set for victory when Yann Kemorgant
(pictured) headed home Chris Solly’s cross on 88 minutes but
Charlton couldn’t hold on with Wade Elliott turning home Chris
Burke’s cross to secure a 1-1 draw.
Athletic were the better team with Ricardo Fuller and Scott
Wagstaff among the players denied by in-form City keeper Jack
Butland.
Addicks boss Chris Powell, whose side are 15th in the
Championship, said: “It is a shame because the boys performed well
in conditions that were tough and we came up against a keeper in
imperious form.
“We got the breakthrough which everyone craved and so late in
the game. You are looking to see it out in a strong way but it
hasn’t happened and it’s a disappointment.”
