Shaun McWilliams came into the Northampton Town side for the visit of Charlton Athletic with Ben Fox dropping to the bench.

Charlton, buoyed by an away win at promotion chasing Derby County in midweek, took an early lead when Karoy Anderson poked the ball home via a deflection inside the opening five minutes.

In a first half of few clear cut chances, Tyreece Simpson shot over after some good work by Kieron Bowie while Thierry Small and Alfie May both tested Louie Moulden. Bowie also had a half chance but couldn’t get a clean strike on the ball after Simpson did well to close down a clearance from the Charlton keeper.

Jon Brady shuffled his pack at half-time with Ben Fox coming on for Jordan Willis.

With the game approaching the hour-mark, Mitch Pinnock fired into the side netting from an acute angle just before Sam Hoskins and Louis Appere came on in a double change. Shaun McWilliams then made way for Jack Sowerby.

The game was still in the balance but Charlton went close to making it 2-0 when Alfie May headed against the post with Tennai Watson unable to find the target on the follow-up. May then looked certain to convert a chance at the back post only to be denied by a terrific interception from Sam Sherring.

Louis Appere equalised for the Cobblers with ten minutes to play, the substitute capitalising on a defensive mix-up from Charlton to tap home into an empty net. The goal boosted the Cobblers and with momentum switched Jack Sowerby fired just over from distance but in the end both sides had to settle for a point.
