A brace from Andy Cook inspired Walsall to a 2-0 friendly victory against Dutch giants Ajax at the Banks’s Stadium.

The striker netted in each half to sink the European heavyweights who next week will take part in the second qualifying round in the Champions League.

In what was comfortably Walsall’s best performance of pre-season so far, a host of players impressed for Dean Keates’ side.

But it was Cook who stole the show on a night that saw Keates spring a surprise by naming five trialists in the match day squad.
