Bristol City goalkeeper Sam Tickle pulled off two big saves in the second half to extend Charlton's winless run in the Championship to six matches after a 1-1 draw at The Valley.
The Addicks are still unbeaten in SE7 this season but were left to rue not taking a couple of huge opportunities. Karlan Grant's second goal of the campaign in the eighth minute gave Charlton the lead, but it was wiped out before the interval by Scott Twine.
Grant showed a deft touch to bring Tyreece Campbell's left-wing cross under control with his first touch before dispatching a left-footed finish past Tickle. Referee Tom Reeves ruled that Arthur Okonkwo did not foul Yu Hirakawa as City's right winger looked to punish a weak header back by Josh Edwards.
Charlton's high-tempo start faded quickly and City came back into the match. Dom Ballard headed over a cross by Brian De Keersmaecker from 10 yards out before City restored parity in the 27th minute. Conor Coventry's clear late tackle on Ballard inside the penalty area gave Twine a spot kick, and he showed no nerves, placing his effort rather than striking with power to score his third goal of the season.
In the second half, Charlton switched to a 5-3-2 and enjoyed greater composure on the ball. Tickle produced a superb reaction save to deny Campbell in the 77th minute, and Harvey Knibbs' late strike in added time was also tipped over by Tickle, keeping the points level. Charlton's Nathan Jones admitted he was disappointed with the goal conceded, describing it as poor defending.
