Run of wins comes to an end

Charlton's run of wins came to an end with a 2-2 draw against Luton Town this afternoon. To look at it more positively, we are unbeaten in six. The Addicks stay 6th in the table.

Instead of conceding a last minute goal, Chris Solly scored a 95th minute equaliser, volleying home from a corner. He had not scored for six years (his last goal was away at Blackpool) and has scored just twice in 269 appearances.

Fosu scored clinically from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute after Aribo had been brought down, giving Charlton the lead. Luton boss Nathan Jones has complained that it was outside the box which makes me glad I have my sight test coming up as it looked inside on Quest.

Luton should have levelled 10 minutes into the second half but Elliot Lee was denied by Jed Steer - the striker's rebound hitting the outside of a post. The introduction of Harry Cornick inspired Luton, as after missing an excellent chance, he beat Steer to Collins' flick-on to make it 1-1 after 74 minutes.

Steer made a brilliant save from Lee but was beaten again with nine minutes to go. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu's shot cannoned off the woodwork and Collins converted the rebound.
