Stuart Kettlewell's side bagged a good win against the Edinburgh giants
Birthday boy Lennon Miller presented Motherwell with three valuable points against Hearts at Fir Park this afternoon, as they bagged their first Premiership win of the season.
McGinn put Motherwell on their way in 24 minutes with a bullet header from a Miller free kick, and Andy Halliday and Tawanda Maswanhise both forced terrific saves from Craig Gordon to keep the score down.O'Donnell headed Motherwell into a 2-0 lead just before the hour-mark, again from a Miller set-up.
Andres Salazar thought he had beat the offside trap to present himself with a chance inside two minutes, but blazed over, only to have an offside flag go up. But Motherwell took the lead in 24 minutes when Miller's free kick on the right was headed on an angle into the bottom right corner by McGinn. Tony Watt replaced Andy Halliday in 51 minutes and within seconds nearly doubled Motherwell's lead with a piledriver that Gordon did well to block.
