Motherwell 1 - 3 Aberdeen

Sandy Clark's team remain top of the SPL reserve league table following a comfortable win over Motherwell at Ochilview.

The visitors took the lead after twelve minutes when Gary Dempsey beat two defenders inside the box before laying the ball back to Kyle MACAULAY, who fired home the opener.

With 32 minutes on the clock, Aberdeen doubled their advantage when John Stewart threaded the ball through to Andy BAGSHAW who made no mistake from fifteen yards.

Midway through the second half, the Steelmen pulled one back with a David CLARKSON effort from the edge of the area. However, with six minutes remaining, the Dons restored their two goal advantage when substitute Chris Maguire controlled the ball well and fed STEWART who maintained his excellent scoring form in recent outings with goal number three.
