at The Valley. <P> Charlton led 2-0 at the break thanks to a George Boateng own goal and a Claus Jensen penalty. <P> However Villa hit back with a second half bombardment against the 10-men following the first half dismissal of Richard Rufus and duly earned reward for their endeavour. <P> John Gregory introduced David Ginola and Darius Vassell at half time and the pair both scored to set up a grandstand finish. <P> </FONT><DIV CLASS="narrowtext"><TABLE BGCOLOR="#003399" HSPACE="2" VSPACE="2" ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="150" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="1"> <TR><TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"

turned in the box and fired home Villa's second equaliser of the night. <P> There was no indication of what was to come as the game started tamely between two teams with aspirations of qualifying for next season's Uefa Cup. <P> But the deadlock was broken when Villa's Boateng sliced a low cross from Jonatan Johansson into his own net on 15 minutes. <P> The game exploded after 35 minutes when Graham Poll sent off Rufus. <P> Poll had controlled the game by the letter-of-the-law and when Rufus made a late lunging takle on Mark Delaney he pulled out the red card. <P> </FONT><DIV
