Kelman scores first Charlton goal

Swansea City fought back to claim a point at The Valley as Adam Idah's sharp finish cancelled out Charlie Kelman's first Charlton Athletic goal.

Kelman steered in from close range via the underside of the bar when Swansea failed to deal with Conor Coventry's hopeful ball into the box in the opening seconds of the second half.

But Swansea levelled as Republic of Ireland international Idah scored only his second goal – and his first from open play – since his £6m move from Celtic two months ago.   After volleying one effort narrowly over, Idah was given time to turn 20 yards from goal and took full advantage, arrowing a low shot into the net via the base of the post.

The draw extends Charlton's unbeaten run to four games, and means they have now lost only once in their past 23 home fixtures in all competitions.

Nathan Jones' team drop to eighth in the table.

The first half of was scrappy, with Macaulay Gillesphey coming closest to a goal with a header which was brilliantly saved by Lawrence Vigouroux.

Gillesphey may have been fortunate to still be on the pitch by that point, after the Charlton defender's sliding challenge on Eom Jisung in the first minute of the game went unpunished.  Swansea felt Gillesphey should have been sent off as Eom was running through on goal, but referee David Webb decided there had been no foul.

Nathan Jones said this was the toughest Swansea side he had faced.   He was disappointed that Charlton had been unable to impose themselves.
