STAR MAN Paul Hanlon 7

Replaced the injured Fish midway through first half – and scored his first goal since last May.

David Marshall 6

Got caught in possession early on – but made a great one-on-one save on Adama Sidibeh with the score still at 1-0.

Chris Cadden 7

Excellent in possession and dogged in defence. Continues to improve after long injury lay-off.

Will Fish 5

Didn't do anything wrong - but limped off injured after 23 minutes.

Rocky Bushiri 6

Shifted from left to right side to accommodate Paul Hanlon’s introduction in place of Fish.

Jordan Obita 6

Got forward often enough to keep St Johnstone penned in on the flanks. Did defensive work dutifully.

Martin Boyle 7

Would love to see a goal from the livewire. But his willingness and ability to run at St Johnstone was key to putting Hibs on the offensive.

Nathan Moriah-Welsh 6

Brought energy and dig to the centre of the park, even if his passing was a little rushed.

Joe Newell 7

Gets an assist for his mighty throw-in leading to the second goal. Composed and controlled on the ball.

Myziane Maolida 7

Makes the game look so easy at times. Inches away from winning a penalty – and might have finished the day with a couple of goals.

Emiliano Marcondes 7

Opened the scoring with a 30-yard free-kick. Replaced by Campbell with 70 minutes gone.

Adam Le Fondre 7

Full of energy and running, his off-the-ball work was as noticeable as anything he did in possession. Replaced by Vente.

SUB Dylan Vente 7

Brilliant finish to score just five minutes after coming on.

SUB Josh Campbell 6

Important assist for Vente to make it 3-0.

SUB Lewis Stevenson n/a

Given closing 10 minutes on left wing.

SUB Dylan Levitt n/a

Late replacement for Moriah-Welsh.
