Overview
- Killian Phillips scored the only goal from the penalty spot to give St Mirren a 1-0 win over St Johnstone on Saturday, following his opening-day double at Falkirk.
- St Mirren goalkeeper Jacob Chapman was pivotal when he saved Jamie Gullan’s 48th-minute penalty after a VAR handball decision.
- St Johnstone goalkeeper Toby Steward conceded the decisive 73rd-minute spot-kick after a collision with Samuel Ramos while attempting to collect a Declan John pass.
- The result leaves Craig McLeish’s side unbeaten and top of the Scottish Premiership with two wins from two and has prompted the manager to say he will help Phillips secure the best possible move.
- Coverage of the round of domestic matches also highlighted Irish players in EFL Cup ties, including Jack Moylan’s 77th-minute winner for Cardiff and debuts and goals for other Ireland internationals.
