In an entertaining encounter, the two teams were level at half-time after both James O'Connor and Anderson scored peculiar own goals.

But Mantom put his side ahead just before the hour mark with Dion Donohue then getting himself sent off for appearing to try and stop Walsall's players from celebrating.

With a man advantage, Walsall ran riot to end a run that had seen them go six games in League One without a win.
