Match Report

TTA report

Northern scored (3). Several corners came to nothing before the home team doubled their lead. In the second half early pressure from Thistle was countered and soon it was 4-0 - at which point Paul scored 2 (the 2nd from a free-kick) to make it look closer than it really was.
