The Saddlers fought well for most of the game but never looked like taking anything away from Bramhall Lane after Peschisolido's  41st minute goal taking advantage of some poor goalkeeping from Walsall keeper Jim Walker.

Darren Wrack had two good openings in the game but he failed to take advantage of them. Walker pulled of a string of fine saves prior to and after Uniteds opener, but his heroics were undone when he mis-punched the ball in to Peschisolido path.

Tonge should have made it two in the second half, but he could only shoot in to the side netting. The second Blades goal always seemed likley, especially as the Saddlers were chasing the game.

It eventualy came courtesy of 
Peschisolido pounced in the 41st minute to put the Blades ahead when the Saddlers' keeper Jimmy Walker fumbled a cross by Alan Wright to atone for a miss moments earlier when he screwed well wide from 10 yards out.


Tonge was again the provider, pulling the ball back for provided the cutback to the edge of the box for Montgomery to slot home in the second game running. Tongue atoned for his earlier miss by setting up Montgomery for United's second.
