Walsall's Freddie Draper hungry for more after first hat-trick
Freddie Draper is striving to continue his rich vein of form in front of goal for Walsall after scoring his first career hat-trick.
His treble saw Walsall come from behind on three occasions, including a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newport County at Rodney Parade on Friday night.
The celebration which followed was equally iconic as the goals, as he launched into a forward roll, ripped off his shirt and unveiled the name on the back to the ecstatic away supporters.
Walsall have scored back-to-back hat-tricks after Isaac Hutchinson’s treble in the 4-1 demolition of Gillingham the previous weekend.
Draper extended his season tally to eight goals and has averaged a goal every 121 minutes in a Saddlers shirt.
