Motherwell striker Conor Wilkinson helped put Hibs to the sword, but reckons the Steelmen would have been slayed if not for a dream debut from strike partner Mika Biereth.
The 20-year-old Arsenal loanee lit up the game at Fir Park when he climbed off the bench early in the second half to tee up Wilkinson for a 66th minute opener.
Biereth then sealed the points with a strike of his own five minutes from time, before a stoppage time penalty from Adam Le Fondre made the hosts sweat for the points.
The Danish U21 international delivered Wilkinson's first league goal since joining on a two-year deal in the summer, and he admits the super sub changed the game after a stuffy opening hour.
