Deon on draw

Deon Burton took his goal tally for the season to 12 on Saturday, but admitted the 4-4 draw with Millwall felt more like a defeat.

After the Lions had raced into a 2-0 lead, Burton converted two penalties, the second of which saw Nadjim Abdou sent off for a professional foul, to get the Addicks back on level terms.

Charlton went on to lead twice through Nicky Bailey and a Steve Morison own goal, but were pegged back each time by Dave Martin and Danny Schofield.

Speaking afterwards, Burton said: "The boys are a bit down. To be up and with them having 10 men but not coming away with three points does feel a bit like a defeat. But we got a point and we're still undefeated at home, so we'll move onto the next game. To give Millwall fair dues, they're a good team and they kept battling away with 10 men and were working hard to make it difficult for us."

The spot-kick brace for Burton, who was denied a hat-trick when Lions goalkeeper David Forde somehow clawed away an effort from the Jamaica international, was the first time the striker had notched two penalties in a match.

"The referee did drag the penalties out a bit," he said. "Now and then you get one who wants to make sure everybody is in the right position and the keeper is on his line. But I don't think I've had two penalties in one game before and I'm disappointed not to have scored a hat-trick."

Burton's highest scoring total for a season is the 17 he bagged in 2005/06, and he must now be looking to overtake that before the current campaign is out.
