Liam Smith got off the mark for St Mirren this week, with an audacious effort from outside the box that whistled past Queen of the South Goalkeeper Alan Martin on the third minute.
Saints ran out 2-0 winners, with Harry Davis scoring from the penalty spot after Smith's early opener enough to secure The Buddies' 17th league win of the season.
Speaking to Buddievision, Smith said: "I've played quite a few games now, but it's not something that comes around very often for me. I was pleased, and glad to eventually get the three points as well.
"The boys were giving me a bit of stick as well, saying they don't think they have ever seen it from me either - in training or that. It was a nice finish, so I'm pleased with it."
The Saints increased their unbeaten run in the league to nine games, and even managed to stretch their lead at the top of the table to 14 points after Saturday's victory. Jack Ross' side have only failed to win at home twice this season; drawing 2-2 with Morton in October and losing 1-0 to Dumbarton at the beginning of December.
Smith believes that on their day, nobody can beat them. He said: "When we play well, there's no team in this league that can match us.
"I think teams know coming here, with our record, that if they don't score the first goal then it's going to be a tough afternoon for them.
"And I think that was evident, we took the game by the scruff of the neck and played well."
The Scotland under-21 star has been on loan at St Mirren from Hearts since the beginning of the season, and with Man of the Match performances like Saturday, it's no wonder he is becoming a favourite with the Paisley fans.
"I just want to be consistent in my performances and I think so far I've done that. If I keep doing that then hopefully we'll end up top of the league come the end of the season."
