da luck: Motherwell helped ease the pain of their 6-0 thumping by Rangers with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League on Tuesday.
da dobrowin: Comprehensively outplayed at Ibrox on Saturday, Stuart McCall’s team did not have to wait long to gain some retribution, even though they needed to come from a goal down at Pittodrie.
Former Birmingham City trainee Sone Aluko put the Dons 1-0 up just three minutes into the match, but his strike was cancelled out 11 minutes later when one-time England striker Francis Jeffers scored his debut goal for Motherwell.
Aberdeen’s bid to get something from the game took a hit when captain Paul Hartley received a straight red card for lashing out at Keith Lasley in the 59th minute, and Motherwell eventually made their opponents pay when Scotland under-21 striker Jamie Murphy scored the winner on 71 minutes.
The goal moves Motherwell up to fifth on the table, while Aberdeen remain in ninth.
