Elijah Just Nets 94th-Minute Winner as Motherwell Edge Livingston

Halftime words from Jens Berthel Askou helped turn a messy display into precious points.

Overview

  • Motherwell won 2-1 after Just scored moments after a VAR offside decision had denied him.
  • Livingston led through a first-half penalty from Jeremy Bokila before Apostolos Stamatelopoulos equalised from the spot just before the hour.
  • VAR also ruled out another Stamatelopoulos finish for offside during a frenetic second half.
  • Askou credited assistant Max Rogers for an intervention at the break and said the team did just enough in a game he called messy.
  • Goalkeeper Calum Ward drew praise for key saves from Robbie Muirhead and Stevie May, as the victory lifted Motherwell to sixth with Dundee United up next and a Premier Sports Cup semi-final to follow.
