CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP: Brentford keep up the pressure with last-gasp win against Charlton

Brentford kept up the pressure in the race for automatic promotion after a late turnaround earned a 2-1 victory over Charlton. 

Following Fulham‘s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest earlier in the evening, Thomas Frank’s men had dropped a place going into the game but eventually got the victory with two goals in the final 15 minutes.

The victory put the automatic promotion chasers two points behind second-placed West Brom, who face Dercy County on Wednesday.
