Ten-man St Johnstone twice came from behind to deny struggling Kilmarnock a precious Scottish Premiership victory.
After St Johnstone goalkeeper Toby Steward was sent off after just 13 minutes for handling outside his area, it seemed like Neil McCann's bottom side had an ideal opportunity to kickstart their campaign.
That sense was heightened when on-loan Hull City defender Cathal McCarthy headed in his first Kilmarnock goal from Greg Kiltie's resultant free-kick.
St Johnstone, who dealt with a barrage of pressure, levelled - albeit briefly - when Danny Schmidt headed in his first goal for the Perth side from Enes Alic's corner.
But Kilmarnock went straight up the other end to fashion a wonderful second. A flowing move ended with Joe Hugill's cross being flicked delightfully into the net by Djenairo Daniels for his first of the season.
Substitute goalkeeper Ross Sinclair kept St Johnstone in the match with a couple of sharp saves, in particular one point-blank effort to foil Aaron Tshibola, before the visitors' stubbornness was rewarded with fine equaliser.
Alic played an inviting ball forward for Joel Cotterill to chase, and after taking it on his chest, he then thumped it past a despairing Nico Mantl in the home goal.
Kilmarnock created several good chances to snatch a winner but couldn't take them, with Tyreece John-Jules denied on more than one occasion by Sinclair.
The point was enough to move them off the bottom of the table, at least, but they remain in 11th place after 11 goals in two matches between these two this season.
