When you play a Derek McInnes side, you have to earn everything you get out the game and I thought the players did that really well today." "Overall, we created by far the best chances. That's not taking anything away from a really good Kilmarnock side. Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell: "We thoroughly deserved the victory, certainly on chances created. Those issues must be addressed immediately if the Rugby Park club are to haul themselves away from danger. They have no time to feel sorry for themselves, though. One shot on target at Fir Park, while shipping more soft goals, tells the story of their season. Kilmarnock's midfield struggled to deal with Motherwell's intensity, but McInnes' side now have the worst defence and attack in the league - a recipe for relegation.

Goalkeeper Sam Walker, who denied Spittal and Van Veen with two fine second-half saves, was undoubtedly the best visiting player, which speaks volumes of the contest. Everything Kilmarnock - go straight to all the best contentĪrmstrong's curling free-kick was as close as Kilmarnock came, with McInnes' men failing to give their large away following anything to cheer about as poor final balls and a lack of cutting edge marred their brief spells on top.Visit our Motherwell page for all the latest news, analysis & fan views.However, the Dutchman got the goal his performance merited in second-half injury time as a sublime solo effort sealed three points for Stuart Kettlewell's side, who are now nine points clear of the relegation play-off spot.īottom-club Ross County's win at home to Livingston means 11th-placed Kilmarnock, who registered just one shot on target at Fir Park, are now just a point off the foot of the table with four games remaining.
