Charlton come from two down to deny Lincoln and maintain unbeaten home run

Charlton produced a stirring fightback from 2-0 down against Lincoln to draw 2-2 in Sky Bet League One and extend their unbeaten run at The Valley to 13 matches.

Imps striker James Collins put the visitors in front after 18 minutes after he met Erik Ring’s corner at the near post to head beyond Charlton goalkeeper Will Mannion.

Collins, a January signing from Derby, made it 2-0 in the 49th minute. Ben House chested the ball down for the striker to produce a smart turn away from marker Tom McIntyre before finding the bottom left of the net.

Macaulay Gillesphey cut the deficit eight minutes later, the Addicks centre-back sweeping in from close range after substitute Chuks Aneke had forced a botched Josh Edwards corner back towards the six-yard box.

Charlton captain Greg Docherty levelled in the 76th minute, producing a sharp left-footed finish after Edwards’ long throw was only partially cleared.

Lincoln goalkeeper George Wickens made a superb save to deny Matty Godden, with Aneke also seeing an attempt drift narrowly wide of the right post as the promotion-chasing Addicks pushed hard for a winner.
