Walsall were back in League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they made their way to the Mazuma Mobile Stadium and took on Morecambe.
Looking to build upon last weekend's welcome win against Chesterfield, the Saddlers were handed a great opportunity to score as Morecambe man Rhys Williams saw red Taylor Allen stepped up and sent a free kick into the back of the Shrimps net.
Walsall doubled their lead late in the second-half as Jamie Jellis added his seventh goal of the season with an effort from just inside the Shrimps area. A superb win away from home.
