Outstanding performance
Motherwell•AttackerTawanda Maswanhise proved to be the match-winner for Motherwell with a dominant first-half display that saw him score twice in quick succession around the break. The Zimbabwean forward first converted from the penalty spot after winning the spot-kick himself on 37 minutes, then doubled his tally just one minute into the second half to effectively kill the contest. Dundee United struggled to create meaningful chances throughout and their discipline let them down with multiple bookings, particularly Vicko Sevelj's foul that led to the penalty. This victory gives Motherwell crucial breathing space in their fight to climb away from the relegation zone, while United's inconsistent form continues to hamper their mid-table ambitions.
