A wonder goal from substitute Akpo Sodje earned 10-man Charlton a point from their League 1 trip to Yeovil on Saturday.

Sodje came off the bench at half-time to replace Therry Racon and made an immediate impact as his 56th-minute effort from 25 yards flew into the top corner.

It was a deserved point for the Addicks who had found themselves a goal and a man down at the break.

Yevil took the lead two minutes before half-time when Jonathan Obika shot low into the corner past Carl Ikeme after latching onto a long ball forward.

By then Charlton were already down to 10 men after their goalscorer's brother Sam Sodje was shown a straight red card after a foul on Ryan Mason in the 33rd minute.

Despite their disadvantage, the visitors laid seige to the Yeovil goal after the break but Sodje was denied a second goal twice by keeper Alex McCarthy, one a brilliant touch onto the post.

Grant Basey also struck the crossbar straight from a corner.

Addicks: Ikeme, Youga, Semedo, Basey, S Sodje, Dailly, Bailey, Racon (A Sodje 46mins), Sam, Burton, Mooney (Llera 31mins). Subs not used: Randolph, Wagstaff, Omozusi, Shelvey, Spring.

Attendance: 5,632.
