Charlton 2-2 Peterborough: Heartbreak for Peterborough as Charlton snatch late share of the spoils

Karlan Ahearne-Grant's last-gasp equaliser saw Charlton rescue an unlikely 2-2 draw with Peterborough.

Gwion Edwards and Jack Marriott had struck either side of the break to give Posh a two-goal cushion and seemingly secure victory for the visitors.

But Ricky Holmes' 90th-minute penalty gave the Addicks late hope and the home fans were in dreamland when Ahearne-Grant scored deep into added time to nick a point.

Peterborough survived a fourth-minute scare when Grant headed Holmes' fourth-minute effort off the line. Ben Amos' quick thinking denied Marriott after he burst through on goal before Peterborough broke the deadlock in the 11th minute.

Marcus Maddison's free-kick was whipped into a packed six-yard box, allowing Edwards to apply the final touch at the back post.

Mark Marshall saw his shot well saved by visiting 'keeper Jonathan Bond and Addicks debutant Leon Best placed a looping header just off target as the hosts tried to hit back.

But it was the visitors who doubled their advantage in the 58th minute, Edwards turning provider this time with a right-wing delivery which was converted by Marriott from six yards.

Ryan Tafazolli almost gifted Charlton a route back into the game by slicing Marshall's77th-minute cross goalwards, although Bond was alert to deal with the danger.

Edwards was denied his second of the evening when Jake Forster-Caskey hacked his shot off the line five minutes from time, however a tense finish was set up by Holmes' 90th-minute penalty, awarded after Forster-Caskey was fouled in the box by Edwards.

And The Valley was in raptures when Ahearne-Grant got on the end of Naby Sarr's knockdown to score a late leveller.
