St Mirren Mullen’s screamer

Many pundits were quick to describe Saints’ weekend performance as lacklustre compared to recent weeks, and it was difficult to disagree. Many players appeared to struggle for large chunks of the 90 minutes against St Johnstone. One of those was Danny Mullen, who has become a talisman during the recent upturn in form – but he delivered another screamer during an incredibly tense final few minutes in Paisley.

The stats show that St Mirren enjoyed more of the possession and threatened with more shots on target than St Johnstone, which just demonstrates how drastically expectations have changed in recent months.
