"Merricks continued, 'I'm so proud of them today. It's a tough place to come, I have to credit Charlton I think they've had a fantastic season.'"
"Charlton, having let a nine-point lead slip, will have one more shot at promotion as they host Leicester at The Valley in the relegation-promotion play-off on 23 May."
"Despite being outside the automatic promotion places at kick-off, Palace were arguably in the best position, playing bottom of the league knowing that a win would secure a top-two finish."
