Walsall boss Mat Sadler has praised his side for their 'brilliant' display as they returned to winning ways at home to Bradford City on Saturday afternoon.
Goals from Taylor Allen, the defender netting from the spot, and second-half substitute Danny Johnson saw the Saddlers bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Milton Keynes Dons.
Speaking to George Bennett of the Express & Star, Sadler said: "I thought for 35 minutes, we could've been three or four nil up. We were absolutely brilliant.
"The tempo we played at, the willingness to get the game going and the threat that we posed was evident.
"We worked on how we wanted to hurt them and I thought we did that over and over again.
"There was a slight lull before the goal and the tempo had dropped slightly. I was gutted for Taylor because we all know how good he has been and his penalty was brilliant as well but it's part and parcel of it.
"We came out well in the second half but they shifted shape and we had to work that out.
"We had to show a different side to us then and there was clearly a 10-minute spell when they were on top.
"So we had to defend for our lives in that penalty area and we did that."
