Lightbourne scores winner

English League's Third Division alive on Saturday when he scored the winning goal in a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Scunthorpe.

All the goals came in the second half with the visitors taking the lead in the 60th minute before Walsall struck twice in the space of nine minutes to clinch the win that keeps them a point behind second-placed Chesterfield and three ahead of Bury, all with two games remaining.

Walsall's equaliser came in the 69th minute before Lightbourne notched the winner in the 78th, his 27th goal of the season. Walsall play their final two matches this week, away to Lightbourne's former team Scarborough tomorrow night and then away to Bury on Thursday.
