First Saints goal 'a dream come true' for Mooney

Evan Mooney, who turned 17 on Wednesday netted his first senior goal for St Mirren in their 3-2 win over St Johnstone.

Stephen Robinson's side were trailing 2-1 at McDiarmid Park when Mooney volleyed home the equaliser on just his second senior appearance.

"I am delighted," the winger said.

"It all came at me so fast, I'm just buzzing. It's only my second appearance for the club, being so young I've had to be patient and take my chance when it comes.

"The gaffer said when I came on just have an impact and try and affect the game and I think all the subs did that.

"It stands me in good stead going forward. I'll just keep working hard, pushing and keep both feet on the ground.

"It's a dream come true."
