Match Stats: Walsall 1 Notts County 2

Here are the Match Stats from the Saddlers' League Two meeting with the Magpies.
Walsall returned to action on Saturday afternoon when they welcomed Notts County to the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium for their latest League Two outing of the season.

Walsall looked fairly threatening during the opening forty-five, and were eventually rewarded as Aaron Pressley added to his tally with a goal just before half-time as he capped off a swift counter-attack by stroking the ball home.

The visitors levelled the scores with just over ten minutes of the game remaining when a Jodi Jones corner was cleared out to Oliver Norburn, with the attacker afforded the time to chest the ball down before slamming it into the back of the net.

County went on to take the lead deep into second-half stoppage time when former Saddler Maziar Kouhyar sent a cross in to the back post where Jodi Jones was only too happy to head the ball home.
