Charlton equalised with 13 to play when Berry latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the box, firing beyond Gabriel Slonina into the left of the goal.

They thought found the winner in the third minute of injury time when Berry capitalised on an error from Slonina and fired home in front of the travelling fans.

But Darrell Clarke’s side responded well and found the leveller two minutes later when substitute Watters latched onto Marc Roberts’ flick on and struck beyond Will Mannion.

Huddersfield Town earned a point in a 0-0 draw at League One high-fliers Wrexham.

Neither side broke the deadlock in a clash which lacked final-third quality.

Ryan Barnett’s jinking run and shot drew a fine stop from Town keeper Jacob Chapman in the first half’s standout moment.

Huddersfield had their first real effort before half-time as Bojan Radulovic nodded Ollie Turton’s cross wide.

Turton’s curling delivery was flicked on by substitute Danny Ward into Arthur Okonkwo’s arms before the hour mark.

Ben Wiles blasted over for Town, who were much improved from their first-half showing, before Wrexham’s Paul Mullin fired wide at the other end.

Elliott Lee’s free-kick was headed back across goal by Dan Scarr only for Mickel Miller to clear.

Radulovic turned on the edge of the box and curled a 78th-minute effort wide, while Mullin’s injury-time header looped over as neither side found a winner.

Rotherham United may have ended their away-day hoodoo earlier this month but it was a familiar feeling as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Leyton Orient.

In League Two, Bradford City drew at Cheltenham Town, but there were 1-0 defeats for Doncaster Rovers at home to Bromley and Harrogate Town at home to Port Vale.

In the National League, York City are up to second after beating previous leaders Barnet 3-1 at the LNER Stadium.
