MYLES ROBERTS 

Produced a smart near post save to deny Michael Cheek and got down to deny Idris Odutayo from distance.

Alert: 7

PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON 

Failed to clear his lines Bromley took the lead, but made amends with a superb header to set-up Ryan Finnigan's winner.

Grew: 7

ADEN FLINT 

Registered an assist for Kanu's equaliser with a crucial knockdown and was bruised and bloodied at the end of a brutal battle.

Warrior: 8

EVAN WEIR 

Grew as the game went on and played an instrumental role in the first two goals with his set piece delivery.

Key: 7

LEWIS WARRINGTON 

Beaten easily in the air in the build-up to Bromley's opener and was withdrawn after an underwhelming first half display.

Struggled: 5 

JID OKEKE 

Had a half-volley hooked off the line and played a significant role in the Saddlers' improvement after the break.

Threat: 8

RYAN FINNIGAN 

Stabbed an early chance straight at Grant Smith. Sold Farquharson short for Bromley's opener but completed the comeback with a towering header.

Winner: 7

CHARLIE LAKIN 

Let down by his first touch on more than one occasion and paid the price when he was hooked at half-time.

Withdrawn: 5

VINCENT HARPER 

Set-up the best chance of the first half from Okeke with a clipped cross but was replaced by Connor Barrett at the break.

Flashes: 6 

JAMILLE MATT 

Held the ball up well in a couple of early attacks and took the knocks in the second half as he worked his way back into the game. 

Industrious: 7

DANIEL KANU 

Quiet in the first half, but delivered when it mattered to equalise with his eighth of the season. Electrifying at times in the second half.

Equaliser: 8

Subs: Brandon Comley (for Warrington, 46) 7; Connor Barrett (for Harper, 46) 7; Courtney Clarke (for Lakin, 46) 8; Albert Adomah (for Matt, 83); Rico Browne (for Kanu, 90 +5).
