Late goal rescues point for Motherwell

Hibernian stage a comeback from two goals down to win all three points against Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.

John Sutton's last-minute header has rescued a point for Motherwell in their Scottish Premiership game against Hibernian this afternoon.

Motherwell's Lionel Ainsworth fired a shot straight at Hibernian goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald early on, before Sutton tapped in to open the scoring for the visitors.

Ainsworth doubled Motherwell's lead when he curled in from 18 yards after nutmegging Michael Nelson.

Jordon Forster pulled one back for Hibernian just before the break when he placed a header into the back of the net from 10 yards.

Motherwell keeper Lee Hollis then produced a great save to deny Collins from point-blank range and preserve his side's advantage.

The dangerous Collins then hit the post after the restart, before Danny Haynes blazed over the bar.

James McFadden almost added a third for Motherwell, but he pulled his effort just over following a good run.

They were made to rue the missed chance as Nelson headed in off the bar 15 minutes from time before substitute Paul Heffernan scored to put Hibernian in front.

Sutton scored late on, however, to make sure both teams shared the points.
