Swindon Town's automatic promotion hopes are effectively at an end tonight after a six goal thriller at the County Ground.
Although it was an assured attacking performance from Town on the night, defensively, the home side left much to be desired.
A howler from Town keeper Wes Foderingham gifted Walsall the lead on 18 minutes, and Swindon found themselves further behind just after half time.
A couple of Ben Gladwin penalties restored parity, but Swindon again found themselves behind when Romaine Sawyers guided the ball past Foderingham with a superbly controlled first time volley.
It was looking like one of those nights for the Robins, but with just nine minutes remaining on the clock, up stepped Jordan Turnbull to nod home the equaliser and spare Swindon's blushes.
Town manager Mark Cooper commented "The first 50 minutes were not very good. I had to change it and try and get impetus and intensity and desire into the play. The last 30 minutes were outstanding. We could have probably nicked it, so could they. It was a real good game in the second half."
