St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright has masterminded many impressive wins during his tenure at McDiarmid Park.
However, few can compare to this truly remarkable result at the home of the Premiership league leaders.
Saints were magnificent throughout and left Derek McInnes’s side utterly shell-shocked, with the victory meaning the Perth side have now won three in a row.
The first half saw no less than four goals shared between the two sides with Saints storming into the lead in just the fifth minute when full-back Brian Easton hit a sweet long-range volley past Dons keeper Danny Ward.
The St Johnstone fans had barely stopped celebrating that cracking opener when their team hit a second just five minutes later with Joe Shaughnessy stabbing home against his former side after a Steven MacLean header had come back off the post.
Then in the 12th minute, the home side pulled one back when a Niall McGinn corner from the Aberdeen left was met by Ash Taylor who bulleted a header past Saints keeper Zander Clark.
The home fans no doubt hoped that would spark a sustained comeback but they were stunned when Saints re-established their two-goal advantage on the half-hour mark when a Liam Craig shot from the edge of the Aberdeen box squirmed past Ward.
Then just two minutes after the restart, Saints made it a fabulous fourth when MacLean sent a glancing header from six yards past the helpless Ward.
Incredibly, St Johnstone then scored a fantastic fifth in the 51st minute when Graham Cummins sent in a cross from the right with MacLean heading home from point-blank range.
As the St Johnstone support started singing, “We want six!”, many of the home fans had seen enough and headed for the exits.
To be fair, Aberdeen never threw in the towel but there was simply no way back for them as Saints secured this famous victory.
