Match Stats: Walsall 3 Doncaster Rovers 1

Here are the Match Stats from the Saddlers' League Two clash with Doncaster Rovers.
Walsall welcomed Doncaster Rovers to Poundland Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they looked to open the month of March with a welcome win.

The first goal of the game went the way of the Saddlers as Josh Gordon got on the end of a Liam Gordon cross to head the ball beyond Rovers stopper Thimothee Lo-Tutala and into the back of the net.

Rovers levelled the scores with a header of their own as Kyle Hurst got on the end of a Sterry cross to put his side back on level terms just after the match had reached the half-hour mark.

Walsall went back into the lead just five minutes later as Jack Earing slammed the ball into the back of the net following a scramble in the Rovers area after they'd failed to deal with a Saddlers corner.

The Saddlers added to their lead with ten minutes of normal time remaining as second-half substitute Mo Faal came off the bench to score against his former club, the forward getting on the end of a Taylor Allen corner.
