Walsall pulled four points clear at the top of League Two with a 1-0 victory at Oldham, a single moment of opportunism settling a contest that could have turned the other way.
Daniel Kanu's first-half strike proved decisive as Mat Sadler's side made it five straight wins in league and cup, while Oldham slipped to a third successive defeat.
One Mistake Decides It
The game's defining moment arrived in the 27th minute when Oldham wing-back Luke Hannant's wayward backpass was intercepted by Kanu, who raced clear and rounded goalkeeper Matt Hudson to slot home his 10th goal of the season.
