Motherwell 2-1 Dundee United: Analysis

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell had named an unchanged side for their Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Dundee United despite Saturday's league defeat in Aberdeen.

That meant sticking with Zach Robinson up front despite taking his total to four for the season after back-to-back goalscoring cameos off the bench.

It looked like it was a strategy playing into United's hands as the visitors forced the hosts to play long, with Robinson all too often outmuscled by former Fir Park centre-back Declan Gallagher and Ross Graham.

However, it paid off on the stroke of half-time as the summer arrival from Wimbledon broke his season's duck in spectacular fashion.

It looked like that would be enough to secure victory until striker Louie Moult stunned his former side in a hectic finish lapped up by an impressive crowd of more than 8,000.

Ebiye, though, was to prove the super sub again to win the penalty that handed much-heralded 18-year-old midfielder Lennon Miller the chance to again show his immense promise and cool head from the spot.
