Championship: Phillips strikes to keep Baggies in hunt
Kevin Phillips' 21st goal of the season cancelled out Greg Halford's first for Charlton and kept FA Cup semi-finalists West Brom in the hunt for automatic promotion.
Halford, who arrived at the Valley on loan in January following unhappy spells at Reading and Sunderland, struck with a fine header on the half-hour.
But master blaster Phillips pounced 11 minutes later with a trademark finish to secure a valuable point for fourth-placed Albion.
Charlton were clinging on at times towards the end - Zoltan Gera hit the woodwork late on - but climbed back up to eighth, although with their play-off rivals all in action they may find themselves further off the pace.
However, in a division where the top six have regularly suffered bouts of vertigo, it could yet prove a point gained for Pardew's men.
The differing fortunes these sides have experienced this season is clearly illustrated in the goal tallies of their strikers; Phillips and Ishmael Miller now have 36, Andy Gray and Leroy Lita precisely none since they arrived in south-east London.
