Sunshine in Leith // Hibernian 1-2 Motherwell

Motherwell travelled down the M8 to Edinburgh, looking to make it six wins out of seven going into the October international break. 

Taking on Hibernian at Easter Road, the Steelmen knew it wouldn't be an easy task and they felt the full force of an attacking Hibs side in the first-half, with Aston Oxborough and Lennon Miller both called into action to prevent the hosts taking the lead. 

A half-time alteration seemed to do the trick however, as Apostolos Stamatelopoulos netted his first Motherwell goal from a clever Miller free kick. 

The lead didn't last long as Junior Hoilett levelled the game minutes later. Moses Ebiye thought he had poked his team back in front, but the linesman had other ideas as he raised his flag for offside. 

A red card for Hibernian's Nectarios Triantis swung the momentum with ten minutes to go, and shortly after, Andy Halliday cushioned home the winner from a Kofi Balmer throw-in. 

The win takes Stuart Kettlewell's side fourth in table, and with a semi-final still to look forward to, things are looking good in ML1.
