Alex McLeish's side found themselves 2-1 down at half-time despite taking an early lead through James McFadden.

Hameur Bouazza and Andy Gray fired the Addicks into a half-time lead but goalkeeper Nicky Weaver spilled the ball to Kevin Phillips just after half-time, allowing the striker to level.

Defender Franck Queudrue scored City's winner with more than half an hour left to give Blues the win, despite having midfielder Nigel Quashie sent off on 59 minutes.
