Good evening Sadler's fans, I'm inside Bescott and after a chaotic five-hour journey from
00:07
Wiltshire I finally made it and it was worth the journey after Walsall booked their place
00:13
in the FA Cup second round for the fourth season in a row in dramatic fashion as they
00:18
beat Ligue 1 outfit Bolton Wanderers 2-1. Matt Sadler made two changes from the goalless
00:24
draw against Accrington last week with Jack Herring coming in against his former club
00:29
for a start and Albert Adoma partnering Nathan Lowe in attack. Both teams had chances in
00:35
the first half, Walsall also made a bright start to the second half but Josh Sheehan
00:41
bent a delightful free kick into the top corner from 25 yards out to give the visitors the
00:48
lead but Walsall responded almost immediately. Liam Gordon rifled a volley into the roof
00:54
of the net on the hour to score against his former club and the momentum was very much
01:01
with Walsall after that and they were roared on by a fantastic Bescott crowd. Jamie Jellis
01:09
hit the post with a scooped finish. Harry Williams then took a heavy blow to the head
01:15
when he crashed into the advertising hoardings. There was some concern but he eventually was
01:19
back on his feet. The stretcher did come over but he walked off the pitch with his head
01:23
bloodied but it was good to see him on his feet after that incident and Walsall had more
01:29
chances after that. Taylor Allen and Conor Barrett tested Luke Southwood in the Bolton
01:33
goal from distance. At the start, in the first minute of nine minutes of additional time,
01:42
Tommy Simpkin pumped the ball long, Nathan Lowe brought it down, slotted the ball into
01:47
Jamie Jellis' path and he kept his cool to tuck the ball beyond Southwood and Sam Bescott
01:53
into Rapture. Some great scenes there. Tommy Simpkin ran over to the home fans on the
01:58
side that I was on and pumping his arms profusely. So a great and memorable occasion for Walsall
02:05
as they reached the second round.
