Kilmarnock 5-2 St Mirren: Killie romp to victory after trailing St Mirren


Watson's solo effort made it five - possibly the pick of the bunch

Kilmarnock complete a remarkable turnaround with an incredible burst of five goals in 19 second-half minutes as they beat top six rivals St Mirren to go fourth in the Scottish Premiership.

Set-piece goals from Charles Dunne and Mikael Mandron had given the visitors a seemingly comfortable cushion, before Derek McInnes’ tactical tweak – changing from three to four at the back – helped turn the game on its head.

Kyle Vassell began the fightback on the hour and the hosts were soon in front thanks to a Danny Armstrong penalty and Marley Watkins header.

A brilliant individual goal from David Watson and Vassell’s second sealed the stunning revival.

Killie move two points ahead of St Mirren, while the Paisely side remain fifth.

More to follow.
