But Addicks boss Bowyer said Fletcher’s 13th goal of the season should not have stood, claiming Wednesday should not have been awarded a free-kick for a foul on Atdhe Nuhiu which led to the goal.
“Disappointed, frustrated, angry, because my players gave absolutely everything and they did not deserve not to come away with anything tonight,” Bowyer said.

“It is becoming a non-contact sport now, that is the way it is going.
“Ten seconds to go and he gives something like that and it is nothing. It is wrong.
“We deserved to come away with a point and we leave with nothing over a decision.”
