Walsall have been made to settle for a place in the Sky Bet League Two Play-Offs, following a dramatic afternoon of action at Crewe Alexandra's Mornflake Stadium.Going into the game on the back of an extended winless run, the Saddlers looked to finally be shaping their own destiny when on-loan Birmingham City man George Hall opened the scoring just short of the hour mark, moving the team into the automatic promotion places.
However, in what will go down as one of the most dramatic afternoons in recent club memory, promotion rivals Bradford City grabbed a late winner in second-half stoppage time as Fleetwood Town's brace defence failed to stop Antoni Sarcevic from scoring, seeing the Bantams retake their place in the top three.
The Saddlers will now have to take their place in the Play-Offs, with their first game taking place next weekend.
