Livi were unable to pick up the points in Perth as they settled for a 1-1 draw.
Livingston were unable to pick up a second win of the season despite St Johnstone skipper Liam Gordon conceding a penalty and being sent-off in Perth as the Lions were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.
He then saw red on 83 minutes for a high challenge on Nouble but David Martindale's side were unable to find a late winner. The striker would make up for that on 35 minutes as he fired the hosts in front. Found in plenty of space by Dan Phillips, the on loan Burnley man slammed home his first for the club from 16 yards, although questions will be asked of Shamal George with the ball seemingly going through his arms as he dived to his right.
While that sparked a change in momentum, Livi weren't able to genuinely threaten Dimitar Mitov. Ayo Obileye went close with a header at the back post that hit the side netting but the Saints handled any attacking move from the visitors.
