Walsall were back in Sky Bet League Two action on Saturday afternoon as they took on Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium, with the Saddlers looking to preserve their unbeaten record.
The opening goal of the game didn't arrive until around the hour mark when Fleetwood forward Ronan Coughlan broke the Saddlers' backline after getting on the end of a well-placed pass before slipping the ball past Jed Ward.
Walsall didn't allow their opponents' goal to get them down and were ultimately able to level the scores during the final ten minutes of normal time when Aaron Pressley scored his sixth goal of the season in all-competitions.
