Hibs boss Lee Johnson has praised his side for holding their nerve to see out a crucial 2-1 victory over St Mirren after admitting their “dominant” first-half performance “fizzled out” after the break.
Goals from on-loan duo Elie Youan and Will Fish gave the Hibees a deserved 2-0 lead at the interval before the Buddies threatened to claim a point in the closing stages after Alex Greive pulled one back.
Kevin Nisbet had also missed a glorious chance to add a third for the Easter Road outfit to add to the nerves, but Hibs held their own and kept the three points in Edinburgh as Stephen Robinson's men failed to find a second.
