Walsall 2 - 0 Fleetwood Town

Keeper Jimmy Walker was again the hero as Walsall overcame unlucky Fleetwood in the FA Cup first round replay.

Walker kept Walsall in it with a string of excellent saves from an Anthony Barry 35 yarder, a Gareth Seddon effort and a looping shot from John Miles.

The Saddlers went in at half-time to boos, but after the break Alex Nicholls crossed for Reuben Reid to slide home.

Reid added a second after rounding the keeper to finish from an acute angle, but Walker's efforts defined the tie.

Walker, 37, was inspired for Walsall in their 1-1 draw at Highbury in the original tie.
