Carlisle United 1-1 Charlton Athletic

Carlisle's new owners watched on as their team drew at home against Charlton.

Castle Sports Group representatives were able to celebrate as Sam Lavelle hauled the hosts level eight minutes after Corey Blackett-Taylor had fired the Addicks ahead.

Jordan Gibson went close for Carlisle early on when his shot was smartly saved by Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

The Addicks replied when Scott Fraser forced home keeper Tomas Holy into an equally impressive stop, before Owen Moxon then fired over for the hosts after he had met a tidy pass from Gibson.

Carlisle were then saved by the woodwork in the 38th minute as Lloyd Jones played in Blackett-Taylor, but his powerful drive thumped against the crossbar.

The Addicks dominated the opening stages of the second period, and they got their reward after 54 minutes when Blackett-Taylor poked home as he darted in to convert Tennai Watson's low cross.

Blackett-Taylor was denied a second thanks to Holy's superb save, and Carlisle levelled just past the hour mark when Lavelle drilled home clinically following Jack Armer's lay-off.
