Despite there being great chances for Mo Eisa and Ellis Harrison to win the game, the performances of the back-line ensured Walsall were restricted to precious little en route to only their second clean sheet in League Two.
Here’s how we rated the players at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.

. Craig MacGillivray - 7
A couple of decent saves required, but otherwise mostly mopped up with the ball at his feet. Photo: Jane Russell
. Warren O'Hora - 7.5
Good at both ends. Defended really well, while added to attacks and almost opened the scoring with a low drilled effort in the first-half Photo: Jane Russell
. Daniel Harvie - 7.5
Like O'Hora, was busy at both ends of the pitch, though his finishing radar was out. Put some really dangerous balls into the mixer Photo: Jane Russell
. Top Don: Anthony Stewart - 8.5
The stand-out by far. On a night when Dons' were rarely tested at the back, it was thanks to the on loan Aberdeen man. Won everything near him, from headers to physical challenges and foot-races. Dominant from whistle-to-whistle and his efforts were well-recognised by the travelling Dons supporters Photo: Jane Russell
