Walsall fight back to beat Bromley and stay top of League Two

Walsall came from behind to preserve top spot in League Two with a 3-1 win over fellow high-fliers Bromley.

Ben Krauhaus put the visitors ahead, but second-half goals from Daniel Kanu, Ryan Finnigan and Courtney Clarke halted the Ravens’ four-match winning run.

Bromley led after 18 minutes as Mitch Pinnock took advantage of Priestley Farquharson’s poor pass to find Krauhaus, who drilled a low shot in from 12 yards.

Ravens midfielder Ashley Charles then prevented a Walsall equaliser with a brilliant block to stop Jamille Matt stabbing home almost on the goal line.

The visitors were denied a second goal after the break as Walsall goalkeeper Myles Roberts saved Idris Odutayo’s 30-yard thunderbolt and Michael Cheek’s follow-up was ruled offside.

Walsall levelled after 65 minutes as Kanu controlled Aden Flint’s knockdown from a free-kick and squeezed home from close range.

They went ahead in the 80th minute when Farquharson nodded a deep centre back across goal and Finnigan looped a header into the opposite corner.

And Walsall made the points safe deep in stoppage time as Albert Adomah broke to square for an unmarked Clarke to steer home.
