MATT'S FINISH EARNS POINT IN LAST-GASP PEN DRAM

CHARLTON boss Nathan Jones broke his habit of not watching penalties as Matty Godden converted in the 97th-minute to salvage a draw against Wrexham.

The former Coventry striker confidently dispatched his penalty after Alan Dale, who started as fourth official until a leg injury forced referee Sam Purkiss off, judged that Max Cleworth had handled Miles Leaburn’s header.

Wrexham twice had the lead, initially in the 16th minute when a wicked Tom O’Connor free-kick clipped off Conor Coventry with Addicks keeper Will Mannion only able to fumble the ball over the goal-line.

Macaulay Gillesphey equalised with his first goal for the hosts with a looping header from Josh Edwards’ cross over keeper Arthur Okonkwo.

Phil Parkinson’s side went back ahead after 72 minutes, substitute Andy Cannon pouncing inside the box before Godden kept his composure from the spot for his fifth goal of the campaign.

“It’s the first time I’ve watched a penalty for about eight years,” said Jones. “We have had two penalties here and we’ve missed them both, so I thought it isn’t doing me any good.
