Evan Khouri rewrote a tale of two goalkeepers as Grimsby Town moved up to second in League Two following a 1-0 win at Walsall. In a blood-and-thunder clash, stoppers Myles Roberts and Christy Pym both pulled off spectacular saves before the visitors found the decisive moment.
Jaze Kabia got the better of Roberts only to be denied by Aden Flint on the line, but Khouri was on hand to rifle the rebound into the roof of the net in the 68th minute to settle a contest that had threatened to be defined by its goalkeepers.
Pym and Roberts Trade Heroics
There was a brisk tempo from the off, with the already-busy Pym shovelling out a low centre before denying Charlie Lakin 26 minutes in. At the other end, Khouri contrived to clear the crossbar from 20 yards with Roberts out of his goal.
