West Bromwich Albion's winless run in the Championship stretched to 10 games as they were held to a draw by Charlton.
Albion had not scored in their last four Championship outings but led at the break after George Campbell climbed highest at the back post to head in Alex Mowatt's corner in first-half stoppage time. The hosts spurned several chances to extend their advantage, with Josh Maja and Isaac Price both missing good openings.
Charlton then made them pay on 70 minutes as Lyndon Dykes raced on to Kayne Ramsay's pass and calmly finished between Max O'Leary's legs to earn the visitors a point. The result leaves the Baggies just one point above the relegation zone and increases the pressure on head coach Eric Ramsay, who has been in charge for the last eight matches.
Campbell's header capped a dominant first half in which the hosts had more than 60% possession and six shots to Charlton's one. Maja squandered the clearest opportunity to make it 2-0 when he was sent through one-on-one in the 52nd minute by a delightful Mowatt through ball but the striker slid wide. That was before Price somehow blazed over from inside the area after a good run and pass from Jayson Molumby in the 69th minute.
They paid the price a minute later when Dykes ran on to a ball over the top from Ramsay to equalise Whilst the Baggies remain 21st in the table, Charlton's 11th draw of the season means they stay in 17th on 41 points from 34 games.
One fan summed it up as not a good performance but a great result, particularly given that Blackburn lost
at home to Bristol City and Portsmouth lost at Wrexham.
