WREXHAM boss Phil Parkinson was fuming afer Matty Godden successfully converted in the seventh minute of stoppage time to salvage a point from a 2-2 draw with Wrexham.
The former Coventry striker confidently dispatched his penalty after Alan Dale, who started as fourth official until a leg injury forced referee Sam Purkiss off, spotted that Max Cleworth had handled Miles Leaburn’s header.
“The ball comes in the box and the lad wins the header," said Parkinson. "It drops down and hits Max Cleworth on his arm, which is low and by his side – it’s never a penalty in a million years.
“We’re relying on the referee to get the one big decision in the game right, and he got it wrong.
“It’s very frustrating. The ref has cost us two points today, in my opinion.
“The quality of the performance was very, very high for us today – we were outstanding.
“It was a performance which warranted three points.
“You can see the way the Charlton fans and players celebrated at the end shows what a good team we are. They have celebrated the point as if they have won convincingly.”
