| Match Summary | Alan Buckley’s Walsall (just five losses since Christmas) are clear of danger, and go close to spoiling Pompey’s title hopes. Aizlewood dives to head home Rafferty’s cross, but then Knight excels, ensuring his 14th clean sheet in the last 24 games. A point at Argyle will seal the title. |
