Saddlers looked to be heading for successive home defeats when a Cody McDonald goal and Bradley Dack penalty put Gillingham 2-0 up on Saturday.

But quick-fire strikes from Kieron Morris and Milan Lakovic turned the match on its head, before Jason Demetriou smashed home a stoppage-time winner.

The game was the second time in a month that League One's top two sides had met at the Banks's Stadium.

Walsall defeated Burton in the previous meeting of the high-flyers but they lost their place at the league's summit a week later following defeat to Chesterfield.
