Sky Sports Champions League •

Killian Phillips scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for St Mirren over St Johnstone, firing a penalty in the 73rd minute. The Paisley side extended their unbeaten start to the Scottish Premiership, with goalkeeper Jacob Chapman also saving a spot-kick from Jamie Gullan in the 48th minute. The Perth side's victory keeps them top of the table, and manager Craig McLeish's side look in strong form.

Phillips followed up his opening-day double at Falkirk with the spot-kick, while Toby Steward conceded the penalty. St Johnstone's best chance fell to Samuel Ramos, who headed a cross at Steward. The hosts were left with a series of shots blocked as they tried to push forward in the closing stages.

St Mirren now face the next fixtures in the league.
