CONOR Sammon admitted his first goal for Partick Thistle was a “huge” moment after he helped seal victory over Motherwell.

The on-loan Hearts striker scored Thistle’s third goal in the 28th minute and they held off a Motherwell comeback to record a 3-2 win and cut the gap at the bottom of the Ladbrokes Premiership to one point on Dundee, whom they face at Dens Park tomorrow.

The former Kilmarnock striker was making his 15th appearance for the Jags and the well-taken goal was a major relief.

“It’s huge,” he told Jagzone. “When you move to a new team you want to score goals, you want to score as soon as possible to really get that confidence again.

“So I am delighted to get it and really pleased to make a good contribution and hopefully that will be the first of many goals this season.”

“I really enjoyed the game and I definitely think Miles [Storey] did. I thought he was brilliant, setting up goals and always looking a threat.”
