LED by red-hot Zimbabwean striker Tawanda Maswanhise, Motherwell bounced back from their Scottish Cup exit by continuing their impressive Scottish Premiership football form with a thumping 5-0 defeat of St Mirren in Paisley on Saturday.
The visitors moved within 10 points of leaders Hearts courtesy of a comprehensive victory that punished errors from the hapless 10-man hosts.
Motherwell opened the scoring after 13 minutes, Elijah Just finding a finishing touch after a raft of chances for the visitors.
After successive crosses from both sides had been cleared by the St Mirren defence, the New Zealand winger cut inside and fired in a low shot that curled away from Shamal George and into the far corner of the net.
The visitors didn’t let up with their energetic attack and got further reward after half an hour when Zimbabwean striker Maswanhise won and then scored a penalty.
The prolific forward had taken a heavy touch when getting on the end of a Just through ball and George missed the ball but brought down the striker.
Maswanhise made no mistake from the spot, calmly slotting past the St Mirren goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Marshal Munetsi scored his first goal for Paris FC over the weekend. — BBC Sport.
