MYLES ROBERTS 

Produced an excellent save to deny Harrison Biggins moments after his goal and made a couple more stops in the second period.

Key: 7 

RICO BROWNE 

Started in confident fashion but lost his way in periods either side of half-time. Recovered to help Walsall push for the winner late on.

Recovered: 6 

HARRISON BURKE 

Beaten to the byline by James Crole who set-up Biggins to score but looked more solid alongside Aden Flint in the second half.

Grew: 7 

KACPER LOPATA 

Caught in no man's land for the Newport opener but was otherwise pretty faultess on his second successive start in defence.

Good: 6 

MASON HANCOCK 

A willing runner - who took risks - but played an instrumental role in getting Walsall up the pitch as they searched for a late winner.

Tireless: 7
