Defender Miguel Angel Llera hit an injury time equaliser as nine-man Charlton earned a 2-2 draw against Swindon in League 1 at The Valley on Boxing Day.

The Addicks were reduced to 10 men in the 18 minute when Sam Sodje was dismissed for a two-footed challenge.

But Jonjo Shelvey gave them a 38 minute lead when he got on the end of Akpo Sodje’s pass to score.

The home side’s numerical disadvantage increased three minutes after the goal when Deon Burton received a second yellow card for deliberate handball.

Swindon dominated the second half and Charlie Austin side-footed home their first after 57 minutes. Austin then set-up Billy Paynter for a 74 minute equaliser.

It looked though the Addicks were heading to defeat until, four minutes into stoppage time, Semedo’s long ball found Llera who scored.
