Walsall claim first away victory of season at Bristol Rovers

Michael Ricketts' double and a Stephen Roberts strike gave Walsall their first away win of the season with a 3-1 defeat of Bristol Rovers. The Saddlers all but had the game wrapped up by the break as first Ricketts turned home from close range following a Marco Reich corner. Then another Reich corner was met by a brilliant header from Roberts 13 minutes later. Steve Elliott did pull one back with a stunning volley from Stuart Campbell's corner with 15 minutes left, but Ricketts' second wrapped up the points when Byron Anthony brought down Troy Deeney in injury-time and the striker scored from the spot. Anthony's woes were compounded when he was sent off.
