With the first international break of the season looming, Motherwell wanted to round up the first batch of games on a high with a win in Perth over St Johnstone. They made a perfect start in do so when Dan Casey's header found the back of the net early on in the first-half. Andy Halliday thought he doubled his side's lead but Tawanda Maswanhise was in an offside position in the build up. With the visitors well on top, St Johnstone found a leveller in one of their rare attacks forward. With it all to do again, Casey, Liam Gordon, Moses Ebiye and Jack Vale all seen their efforts saved by the St Johnstone keeper, with Tony Watt's goal also ruled out due to a foul on the man between the sticks. Just as it was looking like one of those days for Motherwell, a perfect Lennon Miller delivery found Casey, who headed goal wards before Ebiye threw his head at the ball to knock the ball home and send the travelling support into rapture. St Johnstone would be reduced to ten men before the final whistle to round off a fantastic result, as manager Stuart Kettlewell and assistant manager Stephen Frail celebrated signing new contracts with the club in the most perfect way possible.
