Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic played out an entertaining match at the Reebok Stadium as both sides earned a point in the Championship clash.
The Addicks took the lead in the 11th minute when Rhoys Wiggins raided down the wing and lifted a cross into the penalty area for Yann Kermorgant to fire home on his left foot.
Charlton should have doubled their advantage minutes later when Cameron Stewart fired a ball into the box and it fell kindly at the feet of Lawrie Wilson, but he could only scoop his effort over the bar.
Bolton came back into the game as Chris Eagles for the ball on the edge of the area and beat two men before launching a shot at goal, which was well turned away by Ben Alnwick.
The Trotters got their equaliser right on the stroke of half time. Kevin McNaughton collected a cross on the right and cut inside and out before firing a right-footed shot into the top corner.
After the break, Joe Mason went close as he headed at goal from a cross from the right but Alnwick made a great save to manage to get the ball clear.
Kermorgant almost handed Charlton the lead again as he made contact with a looping volley that looked destined for the top corner but Andy Lonergan managed to tip the ball over the bar.
The visitors threatened again as Stewart raided down the left and lifted a cross into the area where Chris Solly met the ball, but he volleyed his effort past the post.
Both teams pressed for a winner but neither could find the net again in a tight contest.
