Stat of the Match: Grant Hanley made 20 clearances, a dominant defensive display that blunted Kilmarnock's crossing.

Three Things We Learned: Youan's finishing was ruthless, converting two of his four attempts and both efforts on target. David Watson's straight red in the 80th minute left Kilmarnock with ten and chasing the game. Tyreece John‑Jules was a persistent threat, producing four attempts and nine touches in the box, highlighted by his equaliser.
