Troy Deeney's late strike gave Walsall victory over Millwall and lifted the side off the foot of League One. Daniel Fox gave Walsall the lead when he converted Edrissa Sonko's centre in the 41st minute.
Andrew Frampton looked to have salvaged a point for the Lions when he cleverly hooked home Neil Harris' pass from close range.
Deeney grabbed the winner when he poked in Sonko's lofted cross past the dive of Rob Douglas.
