Twardek on target as Millwall and Charlton youngsters draw

Teenage winger Kris Twardek opened the scoring before Northern Ireland youth international Mikhail Kennedy grabbed the equaliser as Millwall and Charlton’s Under-23s drew 1-1 on Monday.

Canadian Twardek, who played the full 90 minutes in the EFL Trophy defeat by Wycombe last week, put the Lions in front on 11 minutes.

The 19-year-old fired home past keeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer, despite the best efforts of the Addicks’ defence.

Millwall held that lead until the break but Kennedy – who made four appearances for the first team last season – levelled five minutes into the second half.
