Norwich 2 - 2 Charlton

Norwich   2 - 2   Charlton

Norwich 2-2 Charlton

A late equaliser from Grant Holt secured a point for Norwich as Charlton Athletic surrendered their position at the top of the League One table.

Striker Holt headed in Chris Martin's deflected cross to complete a fine comeback for the home side.

Charlton had taken a 2-0 lead on 40 minutes through headed goals from Deon Burton and Jonjo Shelvey.

Norwich responded three minutes later with a Wes Hoolahan strike before Holt levelled two minutes into injury time.

Norwich manager Paul Lambert told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"They were brilliant. I didn't think they deserved to be a goal down in the first place.

"Effort-wise, and our hunger and our desire, 2-0 down against a team top of the league, absolutely fantastic they were."

Charlton manager Phil Parkinson told BBC London 94.9:

"We're disappointed that the goal's been given. What should have been three points is just one point.

"Of course when you concede a late goal, and it's a dubious one at that, it is disappointing.

"Carrow Road is a difficult place to come but I've never known a ground so pleased to have drawn at home.

"I thought the spirit and the effort in the team was very good. And to still be unbeaten after eight games is a great tribute to the lads."
