First-half goals secure Motherwell win

Motherwell beat Ross County thanks to goals from James McFadden and Chris Humphrey,

Motherwell have registered a 2-0 win over Ross County in the Scottish Premier League thanks to two first-half goals.

The home side took an early lead after Chris Humphrey picked out James McFadden, setting the striker up for a tap-in from close range.

Richard Brittain tried to level the scores with a 35-yard strike in the 15th minute, but his effort was well wide.

Motherwell doubled their advantage just before the referee blew the half-time whistle, as Humphrey smashed the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

McFadden had a chance to grab his second early in the second half, but the Scot's effort from just outside the box failed to find the target before he sent a header high.

Although the visitors had a good amount of possession in the second half, they failed to threaten the Motherwell goal, with Darren Randolph not having to make a save all game.
