Aberdeen 1 Motherwell 0: Stefan Gartenmann scores in win over 10-men.
Aberdeen eased their relegation worries as Stefan Gartenmann’s goal earned a 1-0 victory over 10-man Motherwell at Pittodrie.
The Dons missed a series of chances to leave the game on a knife edge until nine minutes of stoppage time were up. Aberdeen grew into the game around the 20-minute mark but could not test Liam Kelly during the first half. Aberdeen’s first shot on target came after a 52nd-minute corner, but Lennon Miller produced an excellent goal-line clearance to head away Angus MacDonald’s well-struck volley.
There was no VAR review, despite mass protests from the Motherwell players, who were soon unhappy again when a corner was awarded after Gartenmann took a swipe at the deflected free-kick following Vale’s foul. Kelly saved Miovski’s low drive and pushed over Hoilett’s long-range strike before making an excellent stop from substitute Duk.
