    Dundee 3-0 Motherwell

    Dundee 3-0 Motherwell

    Motherwell suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat at Dundee in the cinch Premiership.

    Buoyed by recent successes over Aberdeen and Hearts, the Steelmen headed to Dens in a positive mood, looking to extend their winning run.

    But goals from Luke McCowan, Danny Mullen and Ryan Sweeney put paid to those hopes, and delivered a reminder of the work still to do for ‘Well.

    Sean Goss dropped out of the squad completely from the team which defeated Hearts last weekend, with Liam Grimshaw stepping in.

    Kevin van Veen and Jordan Roberts were restored to the bench after missing last weekend’s match through suspension and ineligibility.

    At a bitterly cold Dens Park, both sides were slow to get the paying spectators warm.

    The first major bit of action came on 17 minutes, when Mullen found himself in behind the ‘Well defence.

    Pulling the trigger to the right of the goal 15 yards out, Kelly pulled off a brilliant reaction stop to prevent the hosts opening the scoring.

    Motherwell though didn’t heed that warning and found themselves behind after 20 minutes.

    A cross from the left wasn’t dealt with and the ball fell kindly to McCowan just inside the box to the left of the goal.

    Wiggling free, he found room to fire off a shot from 12 yards which went through the bodies and past Kelly to give the hosts the lead.

    Dundee cranked up the pressure, with Anderson going close and then Ashcroft being denied from the resulting corner by an outstanding tip over the ball by Kelly.

    While Dundee’s intensity lessened as the half wore on, ‘Well were unable to create anything meaningful up top and went in at half-time with plenty to ponder.

    Van Veen and Roberts were introduced at the break in an attempt to shake things up and the Dutchman almost made an immediate impact.

    With the ball falling to him close to the left post, he dug out a shot to crack the crossbar just 90 seconds after his introduction.

    But hopes of Motherwell momentum growing were instantly zapped.

    A free-kick up the other end a minute later was helped back across goal, where Sweeney was the grateful recipient to slide the ball in from close range.

    ‘Well put balls into the box but couldn’t seriously trouble the home ‘keeper thereafter, and headed back down the road with the need to bounce back immediately at home to Dundee United on Tuesday night.

    Motherwell: Kelly, Mugabi, Solholm, Lamie, McGinley, Grimshaw (Roberts 46), Maguire, Slattery, Woolery, Shields (Van Veen 46), Watt.

    Subs: Fox, O’Connor, Carroll, O’Donnell, Cornelius.

    Tale of the tape

    Both sides have picked up home wins in the two encounters so far this season.

    Last time at Dens, a Lee Ashcroft goal secured progression in the Premier Sports Cup for the Dark Blues in a 1-0 win.

    Then, at Fir Park two weeks later, Tony Watt’s strike was decisive in a 1-0 victory for the Steelmen.

    Form guide

    Motherwell have won back-to-back matches in the cinch Premiership, toppling Aberdeen away and then Hearts at home.

    Both games ended 2-0, making it a 100% record from games in November to date to take the team to fifth in the league table.

    Dundee skipped action at the weekend due to their planned opponents being in cup action. Before the break, a 4-2 home loss to Celtic came after a 1-0 win at St Mirren.

    James McPake’s men occupy 11th spot, four clear of bottom club Ross County.

    Battling performance in defeat to Glasgow City

    Battling performance in defeat to Glasgow City

    Motherwell showed fighting spirit but would ultimately suffer a heavy 5-1 defeat to defending champions Glasgow City in a tough encounter at Alliance Park on Sunday.

    Priscilla Chinchilla fired the visitors in front early into the second half, before Ode Fulutudilu netted a spectacular second minutes later.

    Fulutudilu added a third on the hour mark, before Aoife Colville netted a fourth with a well-placed header.

    Jenna Clark sealed victory for Glasgow City with a fifth, before Katie Rice added a late consolation for the hosts.

    The women of steel started on the front foot with Paul Brownlie’s side showing real intensity in the early stages.

    Clever link-up play between Amy Anderson and Carla Boyce allowed Motherwell to break quickly, and Boyce’s incisive through ball left London Pollard racing Glasgow City goalkeeper Lee Alexander to the ball, but the experienced stopper reacted quickly to clear her lines.

    Khym Ramsay would be called into action in the Motherwell goal minutes later. Julia Molin’s floated delivery found Fulutudilu with her back to goal, but Ramsay was alert to close the angle and produce a smart save.

    The visitors then came close to the opener on the half-hour mark following an exquisite interchange of play in the build-up. Hayley Lauder’s clever through ball was skilfully flicked on by Chinchilla, but Lauder’s low driven effort whistled past the post.

    Motherwell headed into half-time with the scores level, following a strong battling performance in the first half.

    However, Glasgow City would break the deadlock minutes into the second half.

    Lauder’s looping free-kick was punched clear by Ramsay, but only as far as Chinchilla, who calmly placed her strike high into the net past the Motherwell shot-stopper from a few yards out.

    The visitors doubled their advantage minutes later. A well-worked counter attack allowed Tyler Dodds to break with pace on the right, before playing through Fulutudilu who rifled her strike high into the top left corner, leaving Ramsay with no chance.

    City then added a third on the hour mark. Leanne Crichton was dispossessed deep into her own half in what appeared to be a clear foul on the midfielder, but the referee waved play on and Fulutudilu coolly slotted her strike past Ramsay for her second of the game.

    The visitors added a fourth with 20 minutes left to play. Molin’s perfectly weighted delivery was met superbly by Colville who guided her headed effort off the inside of the post to secure a comfortable advantage.

    City continued to threaten the Motherwell goal and would add their fifth in the latter stages of the game. Lauder’s curling free-kick was met excellently by Clark, who diverted her header into the bottom left corner.

    Motherwell netted a well-deserved consolation in the dying stages. Rice’s powerful strike from long-range was too hot to handle for Alexander, who spilled the midfielder’s effort over the line to give Brownlie’s side something to show for their efforts.

    Despite the scoreline, Motherwell will have several positives to take after a strong battling performance against tough opposition. The women of steel will look to rectify the result with a win away to Hibernian next week.
