Fabio Borini scored the winning goal on his 400th senior appearance as Salford beat Walsall 1-0.
The former Liverpool, Sunderland and AC Milan striker stepped off the bench to mark the milestone with a crucial goal as The Ammies battled to a second successive League Two win.
In a drab first half where neither side could muster a shot on target, Salford forward Ryan Graydon went closest to opening the scoring after 40 minutes when he overran the ball after being played through on goal by Cole Stockton.
The Irishman struck the crossbar with an audacious dipping volley from the corner of the box before Daniel Kanu forced goalkeeper Matthew Young into a smart reaction save as both sides exchanged chances in a similarly scrappy second half.
After Robinson turned to his bench for inspiration, neat passing play from substitute Prince Ehibhatiomhan and Graydon opened the space for Borini to fire a low shot into the bottom corner in the 74th minute.
A stretching Jamille Matt could not turn Mason Hancock’s low cross home as the away side pressed for an equaliser nine minutes from time and Salford held on to secure victory.
