VAR:

• In a match completely dominated by the home side, Saints record a very comfortable victory against the Perth Saintees.
• Mikael Mandron makes amends for his penalty miss at Livingston with a goal and an assist as the Paisley side proved too strong for the visitors.
• Following constant pressure from kick off, Saints finally take the lead after 36 minutes when Mandron’s 25 yard shot hits the post and deflects back into the net via the back of St Johnstone keep Mitov.
• There is no debate with the second goal when the big striker capitalises on indecisive defending by firing a crisp right foot volley home after 64 minutes to settle any potential late nerves.
• Kwon adds a brilliant solo third for Saints not long after, but the goal is eventually very harshly disallowed by VAR when the South Korean is adjudged to have fouled an opposition player when he won possession back earlier in the move.
• Saints remain 5th, with the Perth side now in relegation trouble.
