WEIR HITS TWO IN SADDLERS WIN

- BY BEN THOMAS

MAT SADLER hailed the left foot of Evan Weir after admitting the Walsall defender made "all the difference" in his side's thrilling win.

The 23-year-old twice put the Saddlers in front - a stunning free-kick and an even better first-time half-volley, both from just outside the box.

Tranmere rallied from 1-0 and 3-1 down through Joe Ironside and Billy Blacker, but fine finishes from Daniel Kanu and Albert Adomah - the latter in stoppage-time - sent Walsall third.

Weir is getting his chance after setpiece specialist Taylor Allen left for Wycombe in the summer and Sadler says the Irishman's patience is paying off.
