Walsall 4-3 Port Vale: Jake Scrimshaw and Dan Scarr net doubles as Saddlers win thriller

Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Walsall and Port Vale.

Walsall twice came from behind to beat Port Vale 4-3 in a thriller and record their fourth League Two win on the spin.

Vale led 2-0 and 3-2 through Tom Pope, Tom Conlon's 25-yard free-kick and Devante Rodney but doubles from Jake Scrimshaw and Dan Scarr capped a terrific turnaround from the hosts.

Walsall twice hit the woodwork before falling behind as Elijah Adebayo struck the bar from eight yards and Vale defender Zak Mills sliced a cross on to his own post.

Vale went ahead in the 37th minute as Pope turned Scarr inside out to drill home and it was 2-0 one minute before half-time, Conlon curling a fine set-piece just inside the post.

Walsall made four changes at the break and substitute Scrimshaw poked home Rory Holden's pass after 52 minutes.
