Walsall were back in Sky Bet League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Chesterfield to the Poundland Bescot Stadium as their search for victory continued.
The visitors took the lead with around eight minutes on the clock, when Jamie Grimes was afforded the freedom of the borough as he headed home from a Dylan Duffy cross.
Walsall levelled the scores with seven minutes of the second half played, as Taylor Allen's corner was directed into the path of Jamille Matt by David Okagbue, with Matt happily firing home.
The Saddlers went into the lead just three minutes later as Ellis Harrison grabbed his first goal for the club after being found at the back post by Taylor Allen's superb cross.
Walsall added their third goal deep into second-half stoppage time, as substitute Levi Amantchi netted his first goal for the club, sealing the points for his side.
