Harrogate 0-2 Walsall - ratings: Two 8/10s Saddlers' victory in North Yorkshire

Forced into just the one save from Shawn McCoulsky in the second half but claimed the ball comfortably from set pieces whenever required.

Steady: 7

PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON 

Strong in his duels and smart with his decision-making. Capped it off by scoring Walsall's second on his first league start in over 15 months. 

Strong: 8

ADEN FLINT 

Made a crucial intervention to stop Levi Sutton's deflected effort early in the second half and posed a threat from set pieces.

Dominant: 7

EVAN WEIR 

Threatened at times with his set piece delivery and took a no-nonsense approach to his defending in a solid display.

Solid: 7

LEWIS WARRINGTON 

Kept it simple but was composed in possession and alert to the danger signs when sweeping up in the centre of the park.

Alert: 7 

JID OKEKE 

Served as a real attacking outlet down the right and never shirked a challenge. Two-footed, tricky and backs himself for speed. 

Threat: 8

RYAN FINNIGAN 

Much improved from last weekend. Drove forward dangerously and drew an excellent save from James Belshaw early in the first half.

Improved: 7

CHARLIE LAKIN 

Looked more comfortable as an eight. Forced a smart save from Belshaw in the first half, but let himself down at times with his final ball.

Mixed: 6

VINCENT HARPER 

Caught on the ball early in the second half as Shawn McCoulsky broke free down the left but otherwise dealt with his defensive duties well.

Good: 6 

JAMILLE MATT 

Had a physical battle on his hands, but shrugged off his marker to send Kanu through on goal for the Saddlers' opener.

Return: 7

DANIEL KANU 

Took a while to grow into the game but showed great composure for his goal and had another chance cleared off the line.

Grew: 7

Subs: Brandon Comley (for Warrington, 65) 7; Albert Adomah (for Matt, 78); Courtney Clarke (for Lakin, 78); Kemar Roofe (Kanu, 88).
