An injury-time own goal from Stockport goalkeeper Conrad Logan was enough to hand Walsall a dramatic victory.

Logan appeared to collide with Tommy Rowe as he stretched to reach Jabo Ibehre's cross, but he could only punch the ball into his own net.

Oli Johnson hit the post for Stockport in the first half, but Walsall took the lead when Anthony Gerrard smashed in.

Greg Tansey levelled for County with a 25-yard free-kick, but Walsall grabbed the points in late on thanks to Logan.
