Six goals and not much defending to speak of at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday, as St Mirren and Motherwell shared the points in a 3-3 draw that will have delighted neutrals and frustrated both benches in equal measure. The home side raced into what looked like a commanding position, going 3-2 up by half-time after a first half that swung back and forth with barely a pause for breath. Motherwell had actually cut into that lead more than once before the break, refusing to let St Mirren pull clear. The second half told a different story, goalless and far more cagey, as both teams seemed content to protect what they had rather than chase the win. St Mirren will feel it's two points dropped after leading at the interval, while Motherwell can take heart from the fight they showed to come away from Paisley with something. Neither side moves much in the table on the back of this one, but for those in the ground, it was value for money.
