Charlton goalkeeper Will Mannion was the hero as his string of saves helped the Addicks secure a 1-1 draw at Watford in the Championship. Matty Godden scored his first goal of the season just moments after coming on as a substitute, giving Charlton the lead in the second half. Watford's livewire Nestory Irankunda equalized emphatically after 74 minutes, converting a deft through ball from Imran Louza.

Mannion made several crucial stops throughout the match, including fingertip saves to deny Irankunda and Louza. The Addicks extended their unbeaten away run to six matches thanks to the goalkeeper's heroics. Watford dominated much of the play and hit the woodwork twice, but couldn't find a winner despite creating numerous chances.

The match saw Charlton's Conor Coady stretchered off after being struck in the head by a shot from Tom Ince, requiring lengthy treatment on the pitch. Both teams had chances in a lively first half, with Lloyd Jones heading over early for Charlton and Luke Chambers firing narrowly over for Watford. The point leaves both sides mid-table in the Championship standings.
