Matty Godden converted a stoppage-time penalty to earn Charlton a point from a dramatic 2-2 draw with Wrexham at The Valley.
The visitors took a 16th-minute lead through Conor Coventry's own goal after Tom O'Connor whipped in a set-piece and the midfielder's touch was enough to deceive goalkeeper Will Mannion.
Charlton restored parity in the 23rd minute through Macaulay Gillesphey. Josh Edwards sent in a deep diagonal cross and the centre-back sent a looping header over Wrexham stopper Arthur Okonkwo.
The visitors nearly went back in front before the half-hour mark, former Addicks loanee Elliot Lee rattling the bar with a right-footed strike from the edge of the box.
Okonko denied Tyreece Campbell at his near post in the 48th minute after the winger had sped between two markers on the left of the box before Mannion fingertipped away a low attempt by Ollie Rathbone.
Wrexham regained the lead when substitute Andy Cannon pounced inside the penalty area to net his second goal of the season in the 72nd minute.
Alan Dale, who started the match as fourth official until an injury forced Sam Purkiss off, pointed to the spot after seeing a late handball and Godden confidently dispatched his kick.
