Match Report

TTA report

A shock defeat for top of the league Kilmarnock. It was an “astonishingly one-sided game“ (GH). Niven was practically a spectator as Thistle dominated. Hainey scored with a shot in the corner (14) and Fleming took a Davidson pass (44). Brilliant saves kept the score down. “Brilliant Jags“ (ET). Still 10th.

• Hainey's rocket shot whizzes past the desperately reaching hand of keeper Campbell Forsyth and the outstretched foot of right-back Andy King. (SM)

• A desperate race for possession in the first half and PT 'keeper George Niven gets there first to pip Killie's Brian McIlroy. Also well placed at the finish is Jags's Joe Hogan. (SP)

• In goes Partick Thistle's second goal. Fleming (left) heads past left-back Watson and 'keeper Forsyth. (SM)
