Mat Sadler hails Walsall's character and bemoans "outrageous" decision in Swindon win
Mat Sadler praised the "outstanding" character Walsall showed to secure a 2-1 victory in a chaotic opening day battle with Swindon Town at Bescot.
Walsall hit the front inside eight minutes when Evan Weir opened his account for the club with a sensational free-kick from 25 yards out.
Brandon Comley was dismissed for a last-man tackle on Aaron Drinan and Walsall played over 70 minutes down to 10-men.
They dug in but Swindon levelled 11 minutes from time when Will Wright converted from the spot, only for Connor Barrett to win it for the Saddlers late on.
"That was mad. To play in those conditions for 70 minutes or whatever it was, and to show all the sides to us that we did," Sadler said.
