Walsall returned to League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they made their way to Prenton Park and took on Tranmere Rovers.
The first goal of the game went the way of the home side as Regan Hendry sent a low, curling effort past Jackson Smith and into the bottom corner of the Walsall goal.
The leveller arrived just before half-time as Joe Foulkes' cross found the head of the in-form Jamille Matt, who was only too happy to put his side back on level terms.
Walsall went into the lead a few minutes short of the hour mark as Taylor Allen put the ball into the back of the net via a well-placed free-kick from midway into the Rovers half of the pitch.
The Saddlers' third goal of the game arrived via the foot of Brandon Comley, who unleashed a superb effort from distance to give his side a welcome advantage.
