Charlton Athletic moved six points clear of the Championship relegation zone after a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Matty Godden's 49th-minute strike gave the Addicks the lead, but Gabriel Otegbayo's late equalizer salvaged a point for the Owls in a crucial match for both sides.

Sheffield Wednesday, who have endured a disastrous season with an 18-point deduction, are now unbeaten in their last three games. The draw keeps them three points away from making up the deficit imposed by the EFL. Charlton's point edges them closer to securing their Championship status with just three games remaining.

Godden came close to a brace, hitting the crossbar before halftime and striking the post in the second half. Wednesday's equalizer came from a defensive error, with Charlton keeper Will Mannion failing to hold Sean Fusire's cross, allowing Otegbayo to tap in from close range. The Owls will aim to avoid becoming the first team to fail to win at home in an entire Championship season when they face West Brom in their final match.
