Walsall were back in action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Crawley Town to Poundland Bescot Stadium as both sides looked to build upon their recent spells of positive form.
The first goal of the game went the way of the visitors as Dom Telford put his side into the lead with eleven-minutes on the clock, a bit too much space afforded to the visitors' attacking line as they took advantage.
However, the Red Devils' lead was short-lived as Walsall levelled via Hayden White just three minutes later, the defender getting on the end of Tom Knowles' free-kick to grab his second goal of the campaign.
After the visitors were reduced to ten men it took the Saddlers until the second minute of added-on time to make their man advantage tell as Danny Johnson continued his superb scoring season to secure all three points for Walsall.
