Walsall were back in EFL League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Barrow to the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
Walsall opened the scoring just before the thirty-minute mark, as Taylor Allen received a pass from Ryan Stirk on the edge of the area before firing the ball through a crowd of players and into the back of the net.
