Earlier today Walsall Football Club's Reserves side travelled to Yorkshire as they faced Bradford City Reserves in the latest Final Third Development League (West) fixture of the season.

Walsall, who are managed by Richard O'Kelly and John Ward ran out comfortable three-nil winners with goals from Amadou Bakayoko, Jordon Sangha and Reece Flanagan.

Walsall had struggled to get into the game for the opening forty-five minutes but opened the scoring after the break as Amadou Bakayoko headed home from close range following Reece Flanagan's far post cross.

The Saddlers would go on to double their lead shortly after as substitute Rory Oliver found the run of Jordon Sangha and the midfielder coolly slotted past 'keeper Cracknell inside the box.

Following a couple of well saved efforts, and much attacking endeavour Walsall made the victory secure nine minutes from the end when Flanagan latched onto James Baxendale's forward pass before slotting into far bottom corner with a low angled drive inside the area.
