Match Stats: Walsall 2 Gillingham 0

Here are the Match Stats from the Saddlers' League Two meeting with Gillingham.

Walsall were back in action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Gillingham to Poundland Bescot Stadium.

Looking to end a twelve-game winless spell, the Saddlers started the game brightly and looked like a much more threatening unit when going forward.

The first-half ended goalless but the Saddlers continued their promising performance in the second half and were soon rewarded as Isaac Hutchinson netted his sixth goal of the season with a deflected effort.

Walsall weren't done there either as second-half substitute Conor Wilkinson went on to grab a goal late into second-half stoppage time, his first of the season, to give the scoreline a more comfortable look.
