Rovers demolish Saddlers

Walsall crashed to their heaviest defeat of the season at home against Bristol Rovers.

Walsall crash to 5-0 home defeat

Walsall were humiliated in front of their own fans, crashing to their heaviest defeat of the season as an outstanding Bristol Rovers side claimed a 5-0 win. Darryl Duffy began the demolition when he side-footed home a cross from Pipe on three minutes and three minutes later Craig Disley tapped in when set up by Duffy. The visitors' left-back Aaron Lescott, who hadn't scored in 165 games for Rovers, was able to chip in with two. The first coming after 19 minutes with a low shot after Rickie Lambert cleverly dummied the ball. The second-half was no different, Duffy scored from a Jeff Hughes pass after 58 minutes following great work by Pipe. There was ironic cheers from the home fans when, in the 73rd minute, Walsall had their first shot at goal, Sofiene Zaaboub firing over the bar. But Rovers rubbed it in with number five nine minutes from time when substitute Stuart Campbell's first touch set up the overlapping Lescott to complete the rout.
