The visitors went in at the interval trailing to Jeremy Bokila's penalty and were fortunate not to find themselves further behind.

But the Steelmen rallied in the second half and levelled with a penalty of their own through Apostolos Stamatelopoulos.

Then, just moments after he had an effort ruled out for offside, Elijah Just scored in stoppage time to hand Motherwell their second league win of the season.

Askou said: “It was a big moment at halftime. I thought I'd raised the decibel level up enough and then my assistant turned it up even more.

“I praised him for that as it gave the players a last bit of understanding we needed.
