GOAL Montel does it again 3-2 72 minutes.

Matchman · 09/12/2017 3:28 PM

Shot was from a long way out and keeper seemed to misjudge it.

Matchman · 09/12/2017 3:31 PM

Walsall now playing with a bit of urgency. Marshall heads across goal but its cleared. Wood break away and Ilkeston are in trouble but eventually clear.

Matchman · 09/12/2017 3:39 PM

Great chance falls for Walsall but player blasts over. Bad foul by Agar but ref lets him off with a lecture. Deakin rushes out to smother through ball. Another chance for Walsall but Ilkeston defender blocks. Good spell for Walsall. Now Walker brought down when bursting through. 84 minutes

Matchman · 09/12/2017 3:42 PM

Ilkeston are having to defend. 5 minutes left. Montel replaced by Hopkinson.

Matchman · 09/12/2017 3:54 PM

Ransom comes out and misses ball but it goes safe. Everyone back for Ilkeston Its almost time. Tolley booked for Walsall. A very frustrated and angry reaction. There goes the whistle. Ilkeston win by 3-2. Walsall Wood players are not happy. Not very sporting reaction at defeat. Ilkeston needed to win and they've done it. Ilkeston supporters behind goal are still chanting . They are not leaving just yet. Ilkeston players' huddle finally breaks up and they leave the field. WHAT A WIN!!!!
