Two points lost or one point gained?

Two late goals at Oakwell ensured the points were shared as Barnsley drew 2-2 with Charlton.  The Addicks moved up from 12th to 11th in the table, but are just one point off a play off place.   A win would have seen them go up to fifth.

Davis Keillor-Dunn and Max Watters scored either side of a Luke Berry brace, with both sides scoring in second-half stoppage time.

Barnsley opened the scoring in the 34th minute when Stephen Humphrys’ effort was palmed into the path of Keillor-Dunn to slot home from close range.

The Tykes had the chance for a second in the 58th minute when Jon Russell volleyed goalwards from inside the box and hammered the Charlton crossbar.

The Addicks equalised with 13 minutes to play when Berry latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the box, firing beyond Gabriel Slonina into the left of the goal.

They thought they had a winner in the third minute of injury time when Berry capitalised on an error from Slonina and fired home in front of the 400 or so travelling fans.

But Charlton’s defensive and time added on weaknesses from last season returned to haunt them again and Barnsley found the leveller two minutes later when substitute Watters latched onto Marc Roberts’ flick on and struck beyond Will Mannion.

Nathan Jones was not happy with his team's failure to do the basics well: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/we-didnt-win-a-header-all-night-charlton-boss-jones-displeased-by-his-side-lacking-basics-in-barnsley-draw/
