3-0 up against a team that don't score many goals...

Thistle have goalscorers in their team and they look comfortable, cool and calm under pressure.

Aidan Fitzpatrick had the confidence to score, while Jordan White has a great chance and misses the ball completely.

In a microcosm, that is the difference between the two teams.

Ross County were the better team for most of the first half, they had the momentum.

Thistle were not getting the ball down how they like to under Kris Doolan, but you could just see them getting into it and it's a fantastic goal from Aidan Fitzpatrick.

Thistle are in one hell of a position.

That's Jordan White chance was the best for County.

Any real contact with his left foot and that's destined for the back of the net. What a lift that would have been.

Thistle are on their way back to the top flight unless County can come up with something special.

Oh dear. That's a sitter.

Alex Samuel finds strike partner Jordan White just yards out with a fine cross.

But the County man gets his feet mixed up and totally fresh airs it. That's the difference.

Thistle's big away following are bouncing behind David Mitchell's net.

They've just celebrated a Jack McMillan slide tackle like a goal.

Five minutes added at the end of the first half.

Can County get one back before the break? They have a corner. It's met by a County head but David Mitchell gathers easily.

Now Thistle have a corner of their own up the other end.

Thistle have that cutting edge up the top end of the park and they've shown it again.

It's composed from Aidan Fitzpatrick. He, like a few others, can create these moments.

Very, very difficult to see a way back for County now.

Another penalty shout for Thistle.

This time it's for handball on Nohan Kenneh. It looks to have hit the midfielder's planting arm. Correct call not to give it.

I expected County to get a boost with that.

Thistle looking the brighter at the moment...

Credit to Nick Walsh. He's stuck with his gut instinct and I think he has made the right call.

Will that be a big moment we look back on?

Play continues...

Wow...

That's one of the first times I've seen a referee stick with their initial decision up here.

He's having a loooong look at this.

Off goes Nick Walsh to look at the monitor.

This looks ominous for County. Ross Docherty looks to have been tripped by Nohan Kenneh.

Big shout for a penalty on Ross Docherty.

Nick Walsh hasn't given it. VAR might, though. Play is halted.

It's that link up between Brian Graham and Scott Tiffoney again.

The former feeds Tiffoney on the right of the box, but his low drive across goal is just past the far post.
