The Addicks - level on 62 points with the Blues - were defeated 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon.

Lyle Taylor netted the only goal of the game for the Dons in first-half stoppage time.

It means both Pompey and Charlton are finely poised with five League One matches remaining - although Lee Boywer's side have a better goal difference.

The Addicks travel to Fratton Park on April 21.
