St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson praised his players for their perseverance after coming from behind to defeat Aberdeen 2-1 at home in dramatic fashion.
Neil Warnock’s side had led from Connor Barron’s first-minute strike and looked on course for a first league victory for two months.
But Mark O’Hara converted a penalty after Toyosi Olusanya was fouled in the sixth minute of time added on before Olusanya claimed the winner a minutes later.
Robinson admitted he would have preferred to have seen the goals arrive sooner but felt his team were well worthy of the final outcome.
He said: “We had 70 per cent possession and 14 shots – we deserved to win.
“It took a lot longer than we wanted to get the goals but it showed the character and quality of the squad with the subs we made.
“Conor McMenamin was outstanding after training only three days, Toyosi comes on and scores the winner, it shows the strength in depth.
“It was everything we deserved. We dominated the game. They scored from a wonder goal but outwith that they were not a threat and looked a team under pressure.
“We tried to get the ball down and when we did that we controlled the game. It didn’t surprise me. It would have been an injustice otherwise if we hadn’t scored.
“We got the penalty we deserved, arguably we could have had two more that were very close decisions. The players showed a great attitude.”
Warnock, in contrast, was devastated at not seeing the game out as Aberdeen’s winless streak in the league was extended to 10 games.
The veteran manager said: “It’s difficult to talk as I’m absolutely distraught. The lads have given me everything and I’m so disappointed to lose in the way we did.
“You can’t go away from today and not be disappointed. We were on our knees and that’s how they should feel.
“They deserved to win that game. I don’t think they [St Mirren] knew how to break us down, not a clue. So it makes it doubly disappointing.
“The penalty knocked the players’ confidence and it was disappointing to concede again after all that effort. I thought that was the best we defended since I had been here.”
