Stevenage claimed a first win in nine games as they battled to a 3-1 victory against Walsall at The Lamex on Saturday.

Two goals in the first eight minutes courtesy of an own goal by the Saddlers' Rollin Menayese, a Chris Lines header and a Jake Taylor goal in added time were enough for victory battling Boro.
