Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell: "It was a rollercoaster. When you go a goal down, you start to see the reaction and the personality of the players.
"We relied on our goalkeeper [Oxborough] massively after the penalty. What a moment for him, it's almost like a goal for him.
"In the end, the players stood tall and I thought they managed the game really well.
"It's a massive victory for us and it keeps that feelgood factor going."
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "I thought we put in a really good performance and should've won the match.
"We created numerous chances and we dominated large parts of the game.
"I can only control what we are in control of. All we can control is taking our chances.
"I'm not going to not be standing on the touchline for next week by criticising officials."
