Charlton 2 Fulham 2:Alan Pardew was robbed of a winning start as Charlton manager by a late goal from Frank Queudrue in a 2-2 draw.

Fulham had gone ahead in the 12th minute through Brian McBride, but Darren Ambrose fired Charlton level six minutes later before Darren Bent took advantage of a mix-up in the Fulham defence to slot home on the stroke of half-time.

But their hopes of a fourth win of the season were cruelly dashed by Queudrue's late leveller.

Ambrose was given a standing ovation when he left the field to be replaced by Bryan Hughes in the 74th minute, while Fulham sent on former Charlton player Claus Jensen in place of Volz in a bid to level the score.

Pardew was denied the winning start that both he and the Addick's desperately sought when Queudrue fired home an equaliser in the last minute of stoppage time from a controversial free-kick to leave Charlton second from bottom in the Premiership going in to 2007.
