Charlton comeback against local rivals

Danny Mills congratulates Neil Redfearn's equaliser

Charlton 4 West Ham 2


BBC Radio 5 Live final whistle match report
Charlton came from behind to take a 4-2 win in a dramatic London derby at the Valley.

Ian Wright's fifth goal of the season for the visitors gave West Ham the lead in the 17th minute, and training ground bust-up victim Eyal Berkovic restored the visitors' lead in the 40th.

But defender Carl Tiler had got Alan Curbishley's men going just before the half-hour with his first goal for the south east London club.

The team from north of the River Thames looked set for a 2-1 win until Danny Mills struck with 17 minutes of time remaining.

Andy Hunt gave Alan Curbishley's team the lead on 87 and a Neil Redfearn penalty made sure of the points in injury time.
