Motherwell moved level on points with 10-man Hibs by coasting to their fourth win in five Premiership games. Jens Berthel Askou’s entertainers were well on top when aided into the lead by a penalty, given by VAR and converted by Tawanda Maswanhise, on 19 minutes. ‌

Elijah Just took advantage of chaotic defending only three minutes later to sweep home the second. Grant Hanley’s red card on 34 minutes gave the visitors a mountain to climb. That challenge proved beyond them. The hosts were impressive enough on the ball against 11 men. ‌

They were thoroughly comfortable against ten. A goal line clearance from Johnny Koutroumbis to deny Martin Boyle prevented Hibs from getting back into it before the break. ‌
