Walsall welcomed Chesterfield to the Black Country on Saturday afternoon as they battled it out for three points as the 2025/26 League Two campaign continues.
The first and only goal of the game went the way of the Saddlers when on-loan Charlton Athletic forward Daniel Kanu opened his account for the season with a well-worked individual effort just before half-time.
