2004: Charlton Athletic 3-2 Blackburn Rovers

Goalkeeper Brad Friedel scored a late equaliser for Blackburn Rovers, only to be beaten by a stoppage-time strike as Charlton Athletic grabbed a dramatic 3-2 victory.

Carlton Cole and Jason Euell gave the hosts a 2-0 half-time lead, but Blackburn hit back in the final 16 minutes of normal time.

Andy Cole intercepted a backpass to halve the deficit, and Friedel then came up for an 89th-minute corner and forced the ball into the net to level the scores.

There was still time for a late twist though, and Claus Jensen beat Friedel with a looping 20-yard effort to break Blackburn's hearts.

Charlton moved above Liverpool into fifth place, while Rovers dropped to 15th, four points above the relegation zone.
