Referee: N Walsh
VAR:
- An incredible end to the match witnesses Saints score twice in stoppage time to seal a vital 3 points that pushes the team back to 4th position.
- Toyosi Olusnaya is once more the Saints hero and celebrates his new 1-year contract extension by winning a penalty which Mark O’Hara converts and then seals an unlikely win seconds later with a volley high into the net following a devastating counter attack.
- This follows a period of 95 minutes, plus 2 minutes first half stoppage time, where Aberdeen had led following a remarkable opening minute 30-yard strike from Connor Barron.
- Despite hitting the post and the crossbar as well as having 65% possession, Saints looked unlikely before this to counter this Dons goal as interim manager Neil Warnock looked for his first win at Pittodrie to ease their relegation woes.
- The match is watched by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who enjoyed the newly opened James Dunlop suite in the main stand which is located where the 1877 trophy space was.
