Yengi 45+3

ATT: 2,120
Referee: E Norris
VAR:

• Saints issues with scoring appears to reach a crisis point when they are beaten by bottom club Livingston, despite having 21 attempts at goal, including a missed penalty.
• The away side start very strongly, with Boyd-Munce finding space in the final third for attackers with ease, however Saints waste multiple chances and opportunities, with Scott missing the best in the opening minutes when his free header flashes wide.
• In first half injury time, Livingston hit Saints with the ultimate suckerpunch when Yengi fires high past Hemming who had failed to hold the initial effort from a corner, in what was the home sides first attack.
• The wayward finishing continues in the opening minute of the second half when substitute Lewis Jamieson finds himself one on one with Shamal George, however the keeper claws away the effort to round him, and Kiltie’s follow up is headed off the line by Obileye.
• Saints are awarded a penalty in the final quarter of the match after Olusanya is tripped inside the area, however Mandron’s penalty is terribly weak allowing George to easily save. Mandron’s luck doesn’t improve however, when he misses from less than a yard a few minutes later after a brilliant Jamieson cross.
• Charles Dunne misses the final chance deep inside injury time when he fires wide after a scramble, and frustrations boil over at full time when Stephen Robinson and a fan are involved in an argument leading to Alex Gogic escorting a clearly angry manager back to the dressing room. Saints remain 5th and this was Livingston’s first win in 18 league matches.
