Charlton Athletic 1-1 Rovers: All even at The Valley as Addicks are pegged back
On Tuesday, Charlton Athletic and Rovers played out a 1-1 draw at The Valley. Charlton Athletic were looking to get back to winning ways after losing 3-1 to Bolton Wanderers in their last match.

Charlton Athletic and Rovers currently occupy 14th and 20th spots in the table, with 10 points and 8 points respectively after 9 matches.
Charlton Athletic dominated the first half, when Corey Blackett-Taylor found the net, 9 minutes in.

With both teams struggling to produce anything meaningful in the second half though, the match ended 1-1.
Substitutions for Charlton Athletic included Albie Morgan, Charles Clayden, Jayden Stockley and Diallang Jaiyesimi for Conor McGrandles, Richard Chin, Miles Leaburn and Corey Blackett-Taylor, respectively. Rovers brought on Armani Little, to replace Connor Wickham.
