Led by new Head Coach Michael Flynn, the Saddlers went into the match on the back of a welcome win over title-chasers Tranmere Rovers and in search of a second win on the bounce - a feat they were yet to achieve so far this season.
After the two sides exchanged near-misses, it was the Saddlers who opened the scoring as George Miller netted his ninth goal of the season to put his team into a welcome lead.
