Saturday’s game at Southend is one that will live long in the memory of those who witnessed it.

Charlton recorded their first away win of the campaign, ending a run of 313 minutes without a goal in the process.

The joy of players and staff alike was palpable. Former skipper, Johnnie Jackson, came on the pitch to congratulate the players.

Jackson bear-hugged Lyle Taylor and described the match as the best moment in his coaching career.

There is no better feeling in football than scoring a winning goal late on, especially away from home.

Conversely, losing a game late on is the worst. So‎ unsurprisingly, the two managers had different opinions of events‎, especially about the incident in stoppage time that resulted in three red cards.

Here are Lee Bowyer’s thoughts:

“I said to Tariqe (Fosu) ‘I understand you are frustrated but you have to try and not react the way you did’. Listen, I know what it is like being on the pitch and reacting in ways that you shouldn’t but he’ll learn from it.

“He’s made a mistake and he’ll learn from it but it’s definitely going to be a big miss because we’ve only just got him back and that’s what hurts me the most.”

‎Here is what Southend boss Chris Powell had to say;

“I’ve seen it now and I’ve spoken to the referee, I gave him 20 minutes afterwards and we had a chat.

“He said Michael Kightly kicked the player on the ground. I’ve seen it, I think it’s a bit of both, but it’s a strong tackle from Mike and their player (Fosu) got up and headbutted him.

“My only issue with that is the tackle by Pratley in the first-half, he said it was cynical and a genuine attempt to get the ball. Well he was nowhere near the ball. He makes the decisions, I understand that.”

I‎ assume Powell said – or meant to say – that Brett Huxtable (the referee) said Darren Pratley’s first half challenge on Michael Kightly was NOT cynical.

Powell is right to a certain extent, Pratley was lucky not to be sent-off for the tackle, but if Kightly had reacted in the same way as Fosu did, they would undoubtedly both have seen red.

The reaction of the player who has been fouled often determines the fate of his opponent. But Kightly was sent-off because he kicked Fosu while he was on the ‎ground, not for the tackle.

‎Powell added his thoughts on the incident involving his keeper, Mark Oxley:

“And then he’s saying that Mark Oxley grabbed a player around the throat. He does push him, but as we all saw, there must have been 10-15 players pushing each other.

“To be honest with you, I’m quite surprised he sent Mark off, but the other one we’ve seen countless times, a player makes a strong tackle, then a reaction from the other player, they both get sent off. Bit chaotic is an understatement.”‎

Oxley‎ also punched George Lapslie and was shown a mandatory red card for violent conduct.

Managers will always defend their players in public, but in Oxley’s case, Powell is trying to defend the indefensible.

As well as Fosu, the Addicks will be without impressive debutant, Josh Cullen, and new arrival, Jamie Ward, when Wycombe visit The Valley on Saturday. Both players have received international call-ups.
