Hibernian 3 St Johnstone 2
Hibs grabbed their first league win at Easter Road for eight months to end Saints' good run. Junior Agogo set up Ivan Sproule for Hibs' opener with a drive but Saints responded immediately when Liam Craig levelled from Dave Mackay's cross. O'Connor restored Hibs' lead from Agogo's pass and the on-form striker increased the home team's advantage from the penalty spot after he'd been brought down by Dave McCracken. Saints tried to battle back and sub Marcus Haber set Cillian Sheridan for their second but despite a late push by the visitors, Hibs hung on for victory.
