Charlton Athletic 2-2 Blackpool

Blackpool are now just five points adrift at the bottom of the Championship table

Steven Davies headed a late equaliser as bottom club Blackpool drew with Charlton Athletic at The Valley.

Chris Eagles poked Blackpool ahead with his first goal for the Seasiders, touching in Nyron Nosworthy's header.

Charlton equalised through Yoni Buyens' penalty before Jordan Cousins curled a beautiful effort past Joe Lewis.

But the visitors found a late leveller when Davies headed Tony McMahon's free-kick past Nick Pope to extend Blackpool's unbeaten run to four games.

Lee Clark's side have now lost just once in their last six games but they remain at the foot of the table, five points adrift of second-bottom Wigan.

The Addicks, looking for just their second win in eight games, fell behind to winger Eagles' opener.

Charlton were able to equalise before half-time when Peter Clarke tripped Igor Vetokele in the Blackpool box, and Buyens sent Lewis the wrong way with his penalty.

Clark made positive changes in the second half as he searched for a second win in three games, bringing on strikers Ishmael Miller and Nathan Delfouneso, but it was the hosts who went in front.

Cousins took advantage of the space afforded to him outside the area to curl a shot into the bottom corner for his second goal of the season.

However, just when Charlton thought they had wrapped up the points, Davies beat Pope to McMahon's looping set-piece and headed into an open net.

Victory could still have been Charlton's but defender Andre Bikey fired a late chance over the bar.

Charlton manager Bob Peeters:

"It's very frustrating but that's football. It's a draw again and another time we've given away the lead.

"We played well after the (score was drawn at) 1-1 and the players could have done a bit better pushing for the 3-1.

"At the moment we don't need to look at the top six, we need to get a win and we'll see where we are in January."

Blackpool manager Lee Clark:

"The effort and application from the players and the never-say-die attitude was summed up by Steven's bravery for the equaliser.

"While my players have got that fighting spirit in them, fighting for every little point, we've given ourselves a chance and it gives you hope for the future.

"We've got to carry on that momentum and my players should take a lot of confidence from this."

Blackpool have gone four games unbeaten in the Championship
