Road to Wembley - Fleetwood held by Walsall

2,319 watched Fleetwood Town draw with League One side Walsall 1-1 despite dominating the game in last Saturday's FA Cup 1st Rd.

Fleetwood had 11 shots at goal as Walsall 'keeper Jimmy Walker performed heroics in goal. Matt Richards slotted home to put Walsall ahead, but Town's Steve McNulty missed a penalty after Richard Taundry felled Ian Craney in the box.

Craney was then the victim of a reckless two-footed challenge by Ryan McGivern that earned him a red card.

JAMIE MULLEN'S looping 20-yard strike drew Fleetwood level, but Walker made a string of further late saves to force a replay.
