Burton on the double

Published: Monday | December 21, 2009


LONDON, England (CMC):

Jamaican striker Deon Burton extended his scoring spree by striking twice for Charlton Athletic in the English League One but the hosts gave up a late goal to settle for a share of the points against Millwall in a topsy-turvy South London derby on Saturday.

The veteran Reggae Boy tucked away penalties in the space of seven minutes in the second half as Charlton staged a dramatic recovery to almost earn full points before drawing 4-4.

Despite dropping points, Charlton remained on course for automatic promotion, four points behind leaders Leeds in second.
