Extended Highlights | Bristol Rovers 2-0 Walsall

HIGHLIGHTS

Watch the extended highlights from Bristol Rovers' 2-0 victory over Walsall in Sky Bet League Two.

The Pirates were looking to make it back-to-back wins in the fourth tier after beating Newport County on Saturday. Still, conditions were much different, with the evening kick-off delivering cold wind and rain for the visit of the promotion-hopeful Saddlers.

Nevertheless, the Gas reduced their chances and with the score goalless at the break, Yusuf Akhamrich, who netted twice against the Exiles, broke the deadlock with a fine finish past former Rovers loanee Myles Roberts.

The Gas doubled their lead before the celebrations for the first had fully disappeared, with Kofi Balmer raising the roof with a fantastic volley from the edge of the box to score a stylish first in the blue-and-white quarters.

The two goals were enough for the Gas to seal all three points, with Steve Evans hoping to make it nine points from nine at The Mem when they host Chesterfield on Saturday.
