Stuart Kettlewell was proud of Motherwell’s battling qualities after they dug deep to defeat St Mirren 2-1. Lennon Miller’s double cancelled out Killian Phillips’ ninth-minute opener and swung an action-packed contest the way of the Steelmen.
There were red cards for Dan Casey and Scott Tanser in the second half, while Mark O’Hara would see his penalty brilliantly saved by Motherwell keeper Aston Oxborough.
Well boss Kettlewell said: “I’m immensely proud of the character, the personality and the battling qualities – I knew we would need that today. “St Mirren make you defend your box and make you stand strong.
I’m really happy with the players and the performance – but the application especially.” For the second week in succession, Miller produced a man-of-the-match display for the Steelmen to help them to victory.
