Substitute Ishmel Demontagnac was dismissed after an off the ball incident just eight minutes after appearing as a 70th minute substitute.

Michael Ricketts gave the hosts a first half lead, with Gary Hooper equalising for the Iron in the first half before firing in a second after 58 minutes.

The striker could have had a hat-trick but was denied by Clayton Ince late on, before sub Kevan Hurst sealed the win with a spectacular late effort.

Walsall had intially overcome a sluggish start, with Ricketts volleying in the opener after 25 minute against the run of play.
