Motherwell manager Craig Brown was disappointed after seeing his side concede a last-gasp equaliser in their 1-1 draw at Aalesund in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie.

A Jamie Murphy strike looked to have secured a valuable away success, before Alexander Mathisen levelled from the penalty spot.

Brown said afterwards: "I thought they weren't going to manage to score.

"They didn't look like scoring in the last 20 minutes. They don't usually score in the last 20 minutes, I don't know why, whether it's through fitness or whatever.

"The players knew that if they got to the hour mark and they hadn't scored, then we had a solid base to build on.

"It looked like they would only score from a set-piece and they got a penalty, which was very softly conceded."
