Matt headed home his second goal for the club in front of the home supporters to equalise in the 61st minute.

The 33-year-old was brought up in Walsall and played at Bescot Stadium in Sunday league finals but hadn’t scored a professional goal there until Saturday.

He said: “It was a great cross by Liam and if you look at the goals I have scored a lot of them are close in by the six yard box so it just fell right for me.

“I did get a bit emotional because it has been a while coming and to here the cheers of the Walsall supporters was great.

“It has also whetted my appetite to get more goals – as a striker you can never have enough so hopefully there will be more to follow that one.”
