Livingston boss David Martindale heaped praise on his players - but chastised them for almost letting a three goal lead slip against St Johnstone.
The Lions roared to a 3-0 half-time lead thanks in no small part to an abject Saints display. A fine Stephen Kelly double before James Penrice's first top flight goal six minutes before the break looked to have wrapped the points up at the interval.
And the Livi gaffer admitted it felt like his players thought that too because they were punished for the cautious approach after the break as half-time subs Jamie Murphy and Connor McLennan both turned rebounds home in the space of two minutes midway through the half.
