Interim Walsall boss Mat Sadler believes he is ready for the job full-time after the Saddlers handed him his first win in management with a final-day 2-1 victory over Doncaster.

Substitute Andy Williams slotted home a 95th-minute penalty to earn Walsall a dramatic 2-1 FA Cup victory at League Two rivals Stockport.

Stockport handed Walsall a first defeat in 10 games as Kyle Wootton’s double earned the Hatters a 2-0 win in a battle of Sky Bet League Two’s form sides.
County were the better side throughout and Will Collar threatened twice early on but Walsall goalkeeper Owen Evans produced two flying saves to foil his glancing header and fierce 25-yarder.
Walsall struck twice in the second half to see off Doncaster 2-0 and maintain their impressive run of form.
