LONDON, Nov 25: Charlton Athletic stayed bottom of the Premier League after coming from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Everton at The Valley on Saturday.

Everton broke the deadlock after 51 minutes of a dour game when Charlton's Icelandic defender Hermann Hreidarsson deflected the ball into his own net.

Ireland midfielder Andy Reid levelled for the home side in the 67th minute with a crisp first-time shot from the edge of the area after team mate Marcus Bent won possession.
