We recently covered the craziness of the Sheffield Utd - Blackpool 'bust-up' game, now League One rivals, Ipswich Town and Charlton Athletic, have gone one better in terms of drama and late goals.

Heading into the match, Ipswich sat nicely near the top of League One, while Charlton were closer to mid-table, and the game initially echoed the side's league standings.

Ipswich went 2-0 up through a first-half stoppage time goal from George Edmunson, and a strike from Tyreece John-Jules shortly after half-time.

Charlton then managed the first of their rapid two-goal fight backs, after netting in the 63rd and 76th minutes.

Heading into the first minute stoppage time after the 90, the score remained at 2-2 until goals from Ipswich's Freddie Ladapo and Sam Morsy seemingly put the game beyond doubt.

But, in one of the most remarkable comebacks you will see, and the only four goal stoppage time we can remember, Charlton levelled the match with 96th and 99th minute goals, sparking wild celebrations from the players and the home fans.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna spoke after the game of the shock his players were feeling following the mental finish.

“It’s hard to verbalise the feelings at the moment, it was such a rollercoaster of a game. There’s obviously a lot of anger and frustration in the dressing room over the manner of the goals we’ve conceded.

“That’s how it should be but we also, at the right time, have to reflect on the good things in the game – coming again to another big stadium against a good team and dominating.

“We’d put ourselves in a position at 96 minutes that we have to go on and win the game. It wasn’t a lack of concentration and certainly not sloppiness – just a bit of a lack of control of our emotions, to handle those last couple of moments well, not give away free-kicks, defend our set-plays properly, hold our high line in free play and keep the ball out of our box.
