TTA report

For all Motherwell's neat play, their forwards lacked a punch. Walker set up Stott for the opener with a delightful pass (14). Motherwell enjoyed more pressure in the second half but for once their off-side trap failed and Walker beat his pursuers, ran half the length of the park and slotted away a magnificent 2nd goal (70).
