The FA Cup: Walsall to Face Southampton in Third Round

It was something of a low-key evening but the Saddlers got the job done.

Walsall booked their place alongside Southampton in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Cup with a narrow win over National League North side Alfreton Town on Tuesday evening.

An early Jamille Matt goal was all that separated the sides at a sparsely-populated Bescot Stadium after the two teams had played out a goalless draw at the Impact Arena a week earlier.
