A dramatic late strike from John Sutton gave Motherwell a share of the spoils in an enthralling 3-3 Scottish Premiership encounter against champions Celtic at Fir Park, yesterday.
Goals from Sutton and Zaine Francis-Angol either side of a Gunnar Nielsen penalty save from Hoops forward Kris Commons gave the home side a two-goal lead before Anthony Stokes made it 1-2 before the break.
Georgios Samaras levelled and Leigh Griffiths grabbed a late third. But as the game moved into injury time Sutton grabbed his second from a yard out to take the Steelmen to within three points of Aberdeen.
