The visitors started well, Lee’s free kicks causing problems, one seeing ex-Luton loanee Jayden Stockley denied by keeper Michael Cooper, who also saved from Jonathan Leko.

Moments before the interval, Charlton fell behind when Kieran Agard found the net from 18 yards to give the Pilgrims the lead.

After the break, Stockey rifled over the top, but the hosts finished strongly, Agard poking wide, another ex-Hatter loanee Ryan Inniss just unable to reach Charlie Kirk’s cross.

For Lee, he has now made 15 appearances for the club since joining in August with 13 starts in the league, with two goals, his last goal coming on October 30 against Doncaster.

The ex-West Ham youngster has also played two cup games, on target once against Crawley in the Checkatrade Trophy, making it 17 games overall with three goals, as new boss Jackson has spoken previously about making his stay at the Valley a permanent one.

Defender Peter Kioso wasn't in action as MK Dons had their trip to Burton Albion in League One postponed due to an outbreak of Covid.

The full back has played 13 times in all competitions with 11 starts, while also adding four goals as well.
