Walsall were back in Sky Bet League Two action on Boxing Day as they welcomed Crewe Alexandra to the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium.
Walsall grabbed the first and only goal of the game with just moments of first-half stoppage time remaining, when Jamille Matt reacted quickly to strike the ball home after Aden Flint had seen a header saved.
