“It was a top team we were playing against but we wanted it to be more than that.

“There is stuff we need to get better at but there was plenty of good things on show.”

Motherwell took on Spurs in London as they stepped up their preparations ahead of their cinch Premiership return in eight days time. 

The hosts ran out 4-0 winners with goals coming from Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan Gil and a brace from Matt Doherty.

Steven Hammell named a strong starting eleven however made life difficult for themselves and found themselves one down after just three minutes.

A stray back pass from Stephen O’Donnell found Kulusevski who made no mistake and finished past Liam Kelly.

Connor Shields was unfortunate not to level the game when the Tottenham goalkeeper Brandon Austin saw his clearance blocked by the forward and the ball ricochet inches wide of the post.

Four minutes later however, it was 2-0. A move from back to front from Spurs ended with Docherty in space at the back post, he cut inside onto his right foot and finished past Liam Kelly.

Our skipper was called into action moments later when Gil’s effort was well saved by our number one.

It was a third for the hosts just before half time, when Gil had a tap in after good work from Kulusevski.

During the second period, Hammell made changes throughout the half which saw plenty Motherwell youth players get game time.

Despite pushing for a goal themselves, Docherty got his second of the game from a corner on 71 minutes to make it 4-0.

Sean Goss went close from a deflected free kick which went narrowly wide for a corner.

Ross Tierney was next to try his luck after good work from winger Josh Morris, who set the Irishman up but he couldn’t find the back of the net from inside the box.

With the cinch Premiership at a mid-season halt due to the FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar, manager Steven Hammell has had time to reflect on the season thus far.

Analysing his team’s performance, refereeing controversy, the introduction of VAR and the plan for after the break, Hammell covers it all from start to finish.

We are proud to launch our new charitable third kit that will continue the fight against suicide as well as the positive mental health message.

We have teamed up with the Samaritans, Breathing Space, Childline and local charity Chris’s House to launch our Darkness To Light luminous third kit, that will encourage fans who are struggling to speak up, speak out and be heard.

Any and all profits made by Motherwell FC on the new kits will be split equally between the four charities, who provide a vital first point of contact for those who are needing to talk or are feeling suicidal.

The special strip, launched to commemorate 25 years since the club last produced a similar coloured kit made by Pony back in 1997-98, symbolises light emerging from the dark and has each of the four helpline numbers patched onto the bottom corner of the top, as a permanent reminder if anyone is feeling low.

In addition, the ‘speak up, speak out, be heard’ message is contained within the neck taping.

The strip has launched in the Well Shop today (Monday 5 December), and is available now online from motherwelldirect.co.uk.

“We wanted to come up with something that gave back to the charities who the club constantly signpost people towards,” chief executive Alan Burrows said.

“Most of our messaging around positive mental health and suicide prevention encourages people to use theses amazing services, which are sadly getting much busier in these difficult times.

“Our new kit will not only increase the visibility of what they do with with the helpline numbers patch, but will raise vital funds to allow these charities to continue to keep helping people who need it most in the local community.”
