Walsall 1 Swindon 4 - Report and pictures
Walsall were hit for four as the snow came down at home to Swindon Town in League One after a dramatic second-half collapse.
Michael Smith opened the scoring and then set up strike partner Andy Williams to score twice, with Massimo Luongo scoring the other.
Tom Bradshaw had given the Saddlers parity after Smith's first, but Walsall had no answer after Luongo put Town ahead again barely a minute after the restart.
With their first attack, Swindon were in front as Luongo and delivered a clipped cross for Smith, who made easy work of placing his side-foot volley past goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell.
But Walsall pulled level through the trickery of Romaine Sawyers, who fed Anthony Forde to go for goal with Jordan Turnbull challenging, only got Tom Bradshaw to cooly slot home.
Forde came close to adding another goal, curling a free-kick inches wide of goalkeeper Wes Foderingham's right post from a good 25 yards.
It was Swindon who seized the initiative after the break when Nathan Byrne fed Luongo, who steadied himself and fired past O'Donnell to make it 2-1.
As the snow swirled around a freezing Banks's Stadium, the home fans were starting to feel the bite.
Williams added a third before the 50-minute mark, Smith winning a battle with James Chambers to put through an off-balance Williams.
He regained his footing instantly to lift the ball over advancing goalkeeper O'Donnell and into the empty net as the home shot-stopper came out.
Walsall were collapsing and could do little about it as Williams added his second and Town's fourth before the hour.
Smith was again the creator for his strike partner, measuring a perfect cross across the box for Williams to clip home with a delicate touch.
