Arriving at the match on the back of three defeats in as many games the Saddlers were in desperate need of both a return to form and a positive performance as they welcomed Harry Kewell's Oldham to WS1.
The Saddlers were the better side for much of the first-half and were eventually rewarded for their endeavours as Zak Jules netted his second of the season, putting the Reds into the lead moments before half-time.
Sadly for the Saddlers they were ultimately pegged back with fifteen minutes of the game remaining as second-half substitute Davis Keillor-Dunn was granted the freedom of the area to slot home.
