Charlton reduced the deficit on 57 minutes when Chuks Aneke found the net, as ex-Luton striker Jayden Stockley came on for his debut, with Shinnie slotting past keeper Mark Travers in the 90th minute to salvage a point.

Then in the week, Shinnie earned his first start since December 2, as Charlton edged out MK Dons 1-0 at Stadium MK.
