Motherwell made it a productive night at Fir Park, seeing off Dundee United 3-0 in Wednesday's Premiership clash. The home side went in front before the break and led 1-0 at half-time, a scoreline that maybe flattered United given how much control Motherwell had. The visitors never really got going and struggled to find a way back into it, and Motherwell used that platform to push on after the interval and put the game to bed with two further goals. It finished 3-0, a comfortable and deserved win that will do wonders for confidence around the club. Dundee United, on the other hand, will need to go back to the drawing board after a night to forget on the road. For Motherwell, this was the kind of result that settles nerves and sends a message to the rest of the division - job done, and done convincingly.
