Wycombe Wanderers’ stuttering start to the season continued as they drew 1-1 at home against Charlton Athletic.

In what was a pulsating opening 45 minutes, the away side nearly took the lead on 12 minutes through Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, but the on-loan Crystal Palace player could only fire his shot from 10-yards into the side-netting.

From the resulting goal kick, the ball managed to find its way to Garath McCleary who fired in a brilliant low cross, and there was Anis Mehmeti to smash home past Joe Wollacott from 10 yards.

It’s his third of the league season in what was his sixth match of the campaign.

However, the lead lasted for no longer than 60 seconds as the Addicks equalised through Ral-Sakyi’s second of the season.

Charlie Kirk did brilliantly to fire in a teasing ball from the right-hand side which evaded everyone in the box wearing red and blue, apart from the tricky winger.

All the 19-year-old needed was one touch before launching it past Max Stryjek, who was making his home debut.

A blistering start at Adams Park.

Despite conceding so soon after taking the lead, Wanderers had the wind in their sales and were peppering Wollacott with shots.

First, he denied Lewis Wing and McCleary in quick succession, before Mehmeti, Joe Jacobson and Josh Scowen all tried their luck but to no avail.

Charlton didn’t offer much when entering the final third but you could see that they were a threat going forward as both teams went into the break all square.

The second period saw the intensity drop quite considerably with the only main chance of the half falling to the Chairboys, but Mehmeti’s half-volley was brilliantly tipped over by Wollacott.
