St Johnstone Boost Survival Hopes with First Home Win of 2023
Five-Point Advantage in Premiership Playoff Battle
Perth Saints Secure Vital Victory
St Johnstone earned a crucial 1-0 victory over Motherwell at McDiarmid Park on Saturday, marking their first home win of 2023. The result lifts the Saints five points clear of the relegation playoff spot in the Scottish Premiership.
Midfielder Ali McCann scored the decisive goal in the 57th minute, heading home a cross from Blair Alston. It was a well-deserved win for St Johnstone, who created several chances throughout the game while restricting Motherwell to few opportunities.
The victory provides a major boost to St Johnstone's survival hopes. The Saints were in danger of being dragged into the playoff battle but now have a comfortable cushion over the bottom two sides. Manager Callum Davidson praised his team's performance and said they are "fighting tooth and nail" to stay in the Premiership.
