Sutton brace sees off Celtic
A John Sutton double gave Motherwell an unlikely 2-0 win over Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders Celtic at Fir Park.
The Well striker pounced in the second minute after hesitation between Charlie Mulgrew and Hoops goalkeeper Fraser Forster to knock the ball into an empty net.
At the start of the second half, after Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre had been adjudged by referee Euan Norris to have fouled Motherwell skipper Keith Lasley in the box, Sutton blasted in the spot-kick.
Celtic dominated for long spells, and Darren Randolph had to make a fine point-blank save from Anthony Stokes before the same player turned and drove high over from 16 yards. In the 54th minute Kris Commons` long-distance free-kick beat the Motherwell defensive wall and Randolph but rebounded off the keeper's right-hand post.
The Hoops kept coming and Mulgrew had a header from a Commons free-kick saved by Randolph and then Commons shot high over after finding a yard of space inside the Motherwell box.
In the first minute of added time Randolph tipped a Commons shot over the bar as it headed for the top corner as Motherwell defended stoutly until the final whistle before heralding their first home win over Celtic in six years.
