Walsall returned to Sky Bet League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Crewe Alexandra to a packed-out Poundland Bescot Stadium.
The first goal of the game didn't arrive until the second-half when Omar Bogle popped the ball into the far corner after getting on the end of a superb pass before beating the back line and firing home.
Walsall levelled the scores five minutes from full-time as on-loan Stoke City man Nathan Lowe continued his fine spell of form as he got on the end of a George Hall pass to smash the ball into the back of the net.
