Courtney Clarke’s late strike secured three points for Walsall as the Saddlers get back to winning ways.

Salford City edge Walsall FC in a six-goal thriller at the Bescot Stadium.

The striker position is one that, naturally as a league two club, has haunted Walsall for years - whether it be losing loan players in great form (see Nathan Lowe, Freddie Draper, Danny Johnson..), to players signed permanently never finding their shooting boots or even breaking the bank for a friend of a friend (yes, I'm looking at you Jason Demetriou) who would go on to rack up an astonishing 1 (one) goal for Walsall.

The opening stages were cagey, with both sides threatening early in the half. Kane Drummond had the visitors' first real effort after Calum Kavanagh found the winger out wide, before he forced Jed Ward into a comfortable save. Walsall then tested Hudson with a tame effort from Pressley before taking the lead in the 21st minute. A beautiful Jed Ward sidewinder found Tai Sodje, who bore down on goal before a neat finish into the bottom corner to make it 1-0.
