Charlton 4 Millwall 4

Controversy reigned in an epic encounter at The Valley on Saturday when an eight goal thriller saw the two south-east London teams share the spoils.
A Millwall sending off and two penalties for Charlton could not help the Addicks to three points, with the Lions' Danny Schofield grabbing an injury time equaliser.
Millwall got off to a dream start thanks to two Steve Morison goals in the first half an hour.

Charlton stormed back before the break with two penalties from Deon Burton. The first was for a foul on David Mooney, the second given when Nadjim Abdou brought down Lloyd Sam - for which the Millwall midfielder was red carded.
A superb volley from Nicky Bailey at the start of the second period put the Addicks in front, before Dave Martin equalised.
Morison then scored his third of the game - but this time at the wrong end - when he headed past David Forde from a corner to put Charlton back ahead.
But at the beginning of five minutes of injury time Schofield fired home from the angle to make the scores 4-4.
After the match, when asked about his cool head for the penalties Charlton's two goal striker Burton said: "Maybe that was the only time there were cool heads. Both sets of fans got behind the teams. The occasion got us and perhaps that's why we saw so many goals in the game.
"It was a battle. We went behind early. There was a great response by the lads but not to win with them having 10 men is really disappointing. It feels like a defeat."
Millwall's goal hero Morison said: "I thought we were better than them, even with 10 men. We're disappointed we didn't get a win, but to come here and get a point is good.
"With the own goal it flicked off the guy in front and I didn't have time to react. I would have fancied a header like that up the other end coming off the post. It was like a perfect header."
"I was devastated. I could see the headlines already. But we fought back and thankfully got the goal."
