St Johnstone make light of summer noise with goal-filled win

According to BBC Sport, newly promoted St Johnstone produced one of the standout results of the Premiership's opening weekend by beating Kilmarnock in a goal-laden encounter.

The club had been surrounded by summer 'noise' off the pitch, but the players appeared unaffected, delivering a display that thrilled their supporters and immediately raised hopes for the season ahead.

For Kilmarnock, it was a sobering start to the campaign. St Johnstone's attacking fluency proved too much to handle, and the hosts were left chasing the game from an early stage.

While it is only one match, the victory will give St Johnstone confidence that they can compete at this level, and neutrals may already be wondering if this was the game of the season. Fans can find highlights of the match here on this site.
