St Mirren level late as Hibs' winless run continues

Mark O'Hara did his usual polished job from the penalty spot

Hibernian's winless run stretched to seven games as St Mirren levelled in the 91st minute to share the points in the Scottish Premiership.

Mark O'Hara's penalty levelled the score after the break, before Joe Newell thought he had given Hibs the winner after tapping in a fantastic flowing move.

But young striker Lewis Jamieson scored his first-ever goal for St Mirren in added time to epitomise the Buddies' fightback.

St Mirren move five points behind second-placed Rangers, with Hibs jumping one place to eighth.

Nick Montgomery's side seemed to respond brilliantly to the despondency of the weekend, when they largely dominated Aberdeen but still tasted defeat at Hampden.

They flew out the blocks, but their goal was still courtesy of a gift from St Mirren. The normally-reliable Alex Gogic let the ball roll under his foot as he collected a pass, allowing Dylan Vente to square to Campbell, whose unorthodox shot found the bottom corner.

During a fantastic stramash, four Hibs players shot consecutively before St Mirren cleared, but that was about it for their first-half chances.

The hosts started to come back into the game in the final five minutes of the half - and they continued after the break in the same vein before they were similarly gifted a chance at goal.

A corner to the front post resulted in a penalty for a foul in the middle, where Jordan Obita had pulled Richard Taylor's shirt. Midfielder O'Hara stepped up and finished with his usual aplomb.

Another Gogic mistake allowed Elie Youan clear through on goal. The Frenchman tried to round the goalkeeper, but Zach Hemming made a vital save.

Hibs weren't done yet. Newell got on to the end of a free-flowing move to tap in and send the away end doolally, but they wouldn't go home happy.

Jamieson was brought on as a late substitute and picked the perfect time to score his first St Mirren goal, firing in the equaliser with his second bite of the cherry.

Player of the Match - Joe Newell (Hibernian)

Stand-in captain Joe Newell embodies everything that is good about Hibs. He's dragged up the standard and keeps them ticking.

Same old Hibs, uncharacteristic St Mirren - analysis

Montgomery spoke pre-game about turning draws into wins. Yet again, they impressed with the performance, but the result didn't follow.

They passed the ball with confidence, they didn't allow St Mirren to play virtually any football for the first 35 minutes, they looked dangerous with Youan and Jair Tavares.

But it wasn't enough. That is now two wins in 10 games for Montgomery and what looked like a decent start has turned into a very slow one.

St Mirren started as poorly as they have all season but still managed to come back and rescue something. In a game of mentalities, St Mirren showed theirs is far stronger.

It's an encouraging sign when you can get something when you aren't at your best. Manager Stephen Robinson can take the positive from that.

What's next?

St Mirren visit Dundee on Saturday, while Hibs host Kilmarnock at the same time (both 15:00 GMT).
