The Saddlers are out of the promotion picture but won the game through Jabo Ibehre's clinical finish in the second-half, his 11th of the season the only goal at Stadium MK.

That result, coupled with Peterborough's win at Cheltenham, was enough to see the Posh promoted - for the second successive season - in the second and last automatic place.

It also gave Walsall a real chance of a top 10 finish, with 10th-placed Oldham coming to the Banks's Stadium one place and one point above their hosts next Saturday.
