Dons earn deserved victory over the Steelmen

Motherwell 1 | Anier 1′

Aberdeen 3 | McGinn 61′ (pen) 83′ (pen) Reynolds 76′

SPFL Premiership | Fir Park | Att: 6,242 | FT

Aberdeen came from the set back of losing a goal in the first minute to win a very entertaining game at Fir Park. Anier scored after only 40 seconds but the Dons came back well in the first half and both Zola and Pawlett hit the bar. In the second half, just after the hour mark, Jonny Hayes won Aberdeen a penalty and Niall McGinn made no mistake from the spot. The goal gave the Dons confidence and acting skipper Mark Reynolds put them ahead on 76 minutes with a brilliant header. Then on 83 minutes the Dons were awarded a second penalty and McGinn again found the net to round off a very good performance.
