Hamilton Academical 1-2 Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock stirred themselves to come from behind and beat Hamilton 2-1 in their Ladbrokes Premiership clash at the SuperSeal Stadium.Accies midfielder Louis Longridge opened the scoring in the 26th minute of a mostly lifeless first half that was edged by the home side.Kilmarnock showed little improvement after the break and the game appeared to be drifting to a Hamilton win.However, striker Kris Boyd levelled with a header in the 70th minute before substitute Souleymane Coulibaly scored the winner three minutes later with a fine strike to leave the Lanarkshire side stunned.Kilmarnock had lost their opener to Motherwell last week and boss Lee Clark, in the stand serving a touchline ban, gave a debut to 20-year-old midfielder George Green who arrived on a six-month loan deal from Burnley on Friday.It was the more experienced Boyd, back in the line-up, who missed a great chance in the seventh minute.The 32-year-old fired high over the bar from 12 yards after winger Jordan Jones had done the spade work, and it was the closest the disjointed visitors came to scoring in the first half.Hamilton forward Dougie Imrie blasted over the bar moments later, then striker Alex D'Acol had a close-range shot well blocked by Jamie MacDonald although the Kilmarnock keeper could have done better at Accies' goal.The visitors' defence recovered to snuff out the threat of D'Acol who had raced on to an Ali Crawford pass.However, when Greg Docherty played the ball wide to Longridge his drive slipped under the diving MacDonald at his near post for his third goal of the season.MacDonald redeemed himself in the 57th minute with a brilliant parry from Ali Crawford's volley, after the tireless Hamilton midfielder had been picked out by Imrie on the break.Kilmarnock's leveller was textbook in its simplicity.Jones picked up the ball wide on the left and stood his cross up to the back post for Boyd to bullet in a header from inside the six-yard box past goalkeeper Remi Matthews.There was more unexpected joy three minutes later when Coulibaly, who had replaced Green in the 54th minute, showed some nifty footwork in the Hamilton box before curling his shot high past Matthews.The turnaround shook up the home side.Richard Roy came off the bench for Imrie in the 83rd minute and seconds later found himself through on goal, but his unconvincing shot was turned behind with a foot by MacDonald and in the 90th minute Crawford sent a free-kick crashing off the woodwork, with Kilmarnock seeing out four added minutes for a welcome win which had looked unlikely at the break.ends
