It was a battle of two of League Two's unbeaten sides on Saturday afternoon as the Saddlers welcomed Steve Evans and Stevenage to Poundland Bescot Stadium, with both sides looking to keep their 100% record alive.
The faithful didn't have to wait too long before their side took the lead as on-loan Mansfield man Danny Johnson grabbed his fifth goal in all competitions as a Donervon Daniels throw-in wasn't really dealt with leading to DJ's goal.
The Saddlers were dealt a huge blow late in second-half stoppage time as substitute Danny Rose levelled the score, seeing the Reds drop their first points of the new campaign.
