Walsall played host to Premier League Leicester City on Saturday afternoon as they looked to secure a place in the Fifth Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
The match was a close-run affair, with both sides creating chances, however, the first goal of the game went the way of the visitors as Kelechi Iheanacho saw an effort deflect off the thigh of Brandon Comley and over Owen Evans' head.
