Charlton earned a creditable 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Loftus Road on Friday afternoon.

Goals from Leon Best and Joe Dodoo sandwiched a brace from one time Addicks target, Matt Smith.

Smith levelled after 27 minutes when he got the better of Sarr and shot past Ben Amos.

Smith gave Rangers the lead before the interval, but Joe Dodoo levelled things up 15 minutes from time when he steered Billy Clarke’s cross home.
