Saturday 26 September 2026 17:31, UK
Walsall extended their unbeaten run to eight matches with a last-gasp draw at Tranmere, although the result sees Lee Grant’s side miss the chance to go top of League Two.
Bobby Faulkner's towering second half header gave Rovers a deserved lead, before Reece Smith struck at the death to rescue a point for The Saddlers.
An entertaining start saw Tranmere pepper the Walsall box, with Jed Ward on hand to produce a string of fine saves for his side.

The goalkeeper did well to block Charlie Whitaker's strike before smartly parrying Tom Ince's fizzed drive to safety, whilst Aaron Pressley spurned a glorious chance at the other end - blazing over from close-range.
Whitaker then earned a penalty for the hosts after dancing past Sven Sprangler in the box, but Ward superbly denied Joe Ironside down to his right.
Tranmere's pressure eventually told on 72 minutes though, when Faulkner rose highest to power Will Vaulks' corner past the stranded Ward.
But Smith broke Rovers hearts in stoppage time, rolling past Harrison Male from inside the box to send the travelling fans wild.
