Charlton Athletic•DefenderA thrilling Championship encounter saw Oxford United and Charlton Athletic share the spoils in a dramatic 1-1 draw at the Kassam Stadium. Cameron Brannagan converted from the penalty spot on 57 minutes to give the U's the lead after a first half marred by five yellow cards and physical play. Oxford looked set to claim all three points until substitute Charlie Kelman stepped up in the 90th minute to convert a crucial penalty for Charlton, earning the visitors a vital point. The result keeps Oxford in seventh place but sees their playoff push stall, while Charlton will feel this late equalizer could prove pivotal in their own campaign as both sides showed tremendous character in a feisty encounter.
