Chris Whelpdale handed Peterborough a win over Walsall although the result would have been more emphatic had it not been for Clayton Ince's heroics.

Whelpdale stabbed in from close range after Craig Mackail-Smith had flicked a long Charlie Lee throw into his path.

Keeper Ince prevented Aaron Mclean and George Boyd doubling the home side's lead before the interval.

He then deflected a Boyd drive against an upright before blocking Mackail-Smith, who was clear on goal.

Goals: Whelpdale 6.

Walsall: Ince, Palmer (Adkins 23), Smith, Gerrard, Sansara, Deeney (Reich 72), Mattis, Bradley, Taundry, Nicholls, Ibehre.
Subs Not Used: Gilmartin, Davies, Bacchus.

Att: 5,705
