Jackson Smith 8

Made a superb low stop to thwart Cameron McGeehan before half-time and kept the score level by denying Noah Chilvers from the spot.

Emmanuel Adegboyega 7

Predominantly tidy in possession and an imposing figure at the back.

David Okagbue 6

Was outfoxed by Bradley Ihionvien in the build-up to McGeehan’s equaliser but dealt with his defensive responsibilities efficiently aside from that.

Taylor Allen 8

A solid defensive performance and Walsall’s biggest attacking threat as he opened the scoring with a delightful finish.
