Both sides went home with a point as Charlton and Southampton played out a 1-1 stalemate at The Valley. The visitors went ahead when Stern John's scuffed effort looped towards goal and caught Patrick McCarthy on its way home. But Charlton got themselves back on level terms in the 69th minute as Andy Gray met Lee Cook's free-kick with a powerful header.
