Livingston 1-2 Motherwell: Elijah Just scores in injury time for dramatic victory

Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Sportsound: “It’s really raw. A late goal, dropped points. That’s three times we’ve done that at home. I’m disappointed in the manner of the goals we’ve lost.

“The first is a poor individual decision. The second one is a ball we don’t need to play, and we’ve just got lucky from the offside goal moments before. I don’t understand it. There’s a level of naivety, and it’s up to me to try and address that.

“Players that have made mistakes and bad errors are having to learn on the job. There’s a lot in the performance that I’m quite happy with. We got to grips with the game and we deserved the lead at half-time.

“Second half, we started okay. We have to look after the ball a bit better in the final third. The two goals we lose are really disappointing.”

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou tells BBC Sportsound: “A lot of emotions there. We went through a very difficult game. Big credit to Livingston for really making it hard for us.

“They were a threat all the way through and we had to provide two big moments to make sure we won. The first half lacked quality, but we stepped up second half.

“It wasn’t perfect, but it became better, and we lifted out quality in the small moments, which led to two goals.

“Elijah [Just] is a very good player, who has started very well for us, and hopefully that continues. It was good to see [Callum Slattery] back, we’ve missed him. There was some moments of light for us today, and the win is massive.”
