Kevin Phillips' 21st goal of the season cancelled out Greg Halford's first for Charlton and kept FA Cup semi-finalists West Brom in the hunt for automatic promotion from the Championship.

Halford, who arrived at the Valley on loan in January following unhappy spells at Reading and Sunderland, struck with a fine header on the half-hour.

However Phillips pounced 11 minutes later with a trademark finish to secure a valuable point for fourth-placed Albion.

Charlton were clinging on at times towards the end - Zoltan Gera hit the woodwork late on - but climbed back up to eighth, although with their play-off rivals all in action on Saturday they may soon find themselves further off the pace.
