Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell expressed his satisfaction following his team’s victory, stating, “Over the moon that we break the run we were on before today.” He added that the team demonstrated they “weren’t content with that run.” Kettlewell felt his side “were deserving of it, especially in the second half,” believing “the momentum was with ourselves,” and that they “carved out the two best opportunities.” He further commented, “Even at the time we scored I felt we were on top. The biggest thing for us today was to try and arrest the silly goals we conceded and we did that.” Kettlewell commended Tony Watt’s performance, remarking, “It was a fantastic finish from Tony Watt to get his first goal of this second spell, he’s waited patiently. It’s big for confidence for the players.” He described the decisive goal as “a great moment for us,” noting, “We’ve been waiting two weeks for it.” Kettlewell concluded by stating, “It wasn’t done pretty today but it was done effectively.”
