St Mirren leap to second in the Scottish Premiership as they handed Motherwell their first loss in the league since April
Motherwell linked up brilliantly in the first half, while St Mirren preferred a more direct approach. Theo Bair had the best chance when played through by Blair Spittal, but dragged his shot wide of the post.
Losing the goal didn't deflate them. They threw everything at St Mirren in search of an equaliser. Callum Slattery had a free-kick saved. Bevis Mugabi had an effort deflected inches wide. Bair bundled at goal from yards out. Still, one more opportunity fell. This time it was substitute Georgie Gent, who could only crash his shot off the face of the bar. That was the chance - for a goal, for a point, for momentum to swing to the hosts. It came and went.Spittal and Callum Slattery are two of the best midfield duos in the league. They didn't deserve to lose today.Second v third at the start of the day - this was the game of the weekend, make no mistake.
