Photos from Walsall's home win over Northampton in League One.
Walsall entertained Northampton at Banks's Stadium on Saturday.
There was just one place and one point between the sides before kick off, with Saddlers on top in 13th. A familiar Midlands football face was in the crowd.
Chris Palmer opened the scoring with a long range effort.
Walsall looked to build on their opening goal, creating several chances in the first half.
Anthony Gerrard scored the second from a corner.
Walsall looked safe when Palmer's shot was blocked and Troy Deeney looped the ball over keeper Frank Fielding.
But Leon Constantine headed in after Giles Coke hit the crossbar to spark Northampton's late charge.
Walsall held on for all three points, moving up to 12th in the division.
