Ivan Cavaleiro scored his first goal in six Fulham appearances to make it 1-1

Fulham twice came from behind to draw a pulsating London derby against Charlton Athletic at Craven Cottage.

The Addicks, who have started the season impressively since winning promotion from League One, deservedly led at the break through Conor Gallagher's smart low finish.

The lively Ivan Cavaleiro fired into the top corner after exchanging passes with Bobby Reid to make it 1-1, only for Macauley Bonne's looping header to restore Charlton's advantage 90 seconds later.

But Fulham, much improved in the second half, levelled for a second time when Aleksandar Mitrovic forced the ball home from close range.

Mitrovic, who had earlier diverted Anthony Knockaert's cross against the bar, has now scored eight times in 11 league games and tops the Championship goalscoring charts.

His link-up with half-time substitute Reid helped the hosts take complete control after the interval, with the former Bristol City striker complementing Mitrovic's bustling forward play with pace and industry.

But, having been instrumental in the turnaround, Reid then twice wasted opportunities to score the winner - first seeing a curling effort tipped over by Dillon Phillips and then being denied at point-blank range with the goal at his mercy.

Defeat would have been harsh on Lee Bowyer's visitors, who played some excellent football during the first 45 minutes and would have been further in front if Darren Pratley and Jonny Williams had made more of good opportunities.

Charlton have won five and drawn three of their first 11 fixtures, while Fulham are now unbeaten in six games.

Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer:

"We've gone toe-to-toe with Fulham, Leeds and Swansea in one week and we've been OK.

"It doesn't surprise me because I believe in the players I have. I know they'll give me 100 percent every time and I know they can play football.

"We've just come up and I was hoping that teams would underestimate us a bit and that's what's happening."

Fulham manager Scott Parker:

"The hangover from last year was still there early in the season but in the last two or three weeks I feel the tide is firmly with us. The international break has probably come at a bad time.

"I'm probably a little bit disappointed we've not come out winners in the end. We had a couple of glorious chances and the keeper has pulled off a world-class save.

"We're a big team in this league. Sides will come here and pay us a lot of respect and we need to live up to that and then our quality will prevail."
