Walsall hero Lowe 'disappointed not to get hat-trick'

Teenage Walsall striker Nathan Lowe went from missing a penalty to becoming a two-goal hero as he fired the Saddlers into the third round of the League Cup for the first time since 2015.

The 18-year-old, making his first start on loan from Championship club Stoke City, looked set for defeat when Walsall went 2-0 down to relegated League One side Huddersfield Town - just three minutes after he had missed a penalty.

But he told BBC Radio WM that the whole night had been "just a massive rollercoaster".

"That's the highs and lows of football," he said.
