West Bromwich Albion drew 1-1 with Charlton Athletic on Tuesday evening, a result that will satisfy neither side given how the game shifted so dramatically in the space of two second-half minutes.
Charlton made the stronger start. Lloyd Jones headed them in front as early as the tenth minute, and though West Brom improved as the half progressed, Collins Sichenje's booking at 35 minutes added a layer of tension around the visitors' defensive shape. Callum Styles was cautioned for the hosts shortly before the interval, with George Hampton Campbell also entering the referee's notebook as the half drew to a close.
The second half opened at pace. Tyreece Campbell extended Charlton's threat immediately after the restart, but the game's most dramatic passage arrived around the hour mark. Conor Coventry and Harry Clarke were both dismissed within a minute of each other at the 56th and 57th minute marks, with Jayden Fevrier also carded at the same point. Sichenje then received a second booking at 66 minutes, reducing Charlton to nine men.
West Brom capitalised. Lyndon Dykes pulled a goal back on 70 minutes, and the hosts pressed for more with numerical advantage firmly in their favour. Macaulay Gillesphey was cautioned late on, and further substitutions from both benches added bodies without changing the outcome.
A single point from a fractured contest, with the disciplinary record the defining story of the evening.
