A brace from Kevin Lisbie secured in-form Colchester victory over Walsall.
Colchester broke the deadlock when Clive Platt's goalbound effort was flicked into the net by Lisbie.
But it took Walsall barely 60 seconds to get back on level terms, Darren Byfield raced away before firing into the roof of the net.
The U's regained their lead when Lisbie struck from the penalty spot after Josh Payne had fouled Mark Hughes. Steven Gillespie hit the woodwork late on.
Colchester United manager Aidy Boothroyd told BBC Essex:
"I thought we were a bit lacklustre at the start.
"But second half there was only one team that was going to go on and win it and that was us.
"The guys got themselves together and they were the ones that turned it round."
