A pulsating encounter at Blundell Park saw Andy Cook's brace inspire Grimsby to come from behind twice, only for Walsall to snatch a crucial point through Aaron Pressley's 71st-minute leveller. The turning point came on the stroke of half-time when Walsall goalkeeper Myles Roberts was dismissed for a professional foul as the last man, forcing the Saddlers to play the entire second half with ten men. Cook capitalised on the numerical advantage with two clinical finishes in an 18-minute spell, but Walsall showed tremendous resilience to equalise and earn a valuable draw that keeps both sides in mid-table obscurity with identical records heading into the final stretch of the League Two season.
