Motherwell 2-0 Aberdeen: What the manager said

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou kept his cards close to his chest when asked about his team's title credentials following their 2-0 win over Aberdeen on Sunday.

"I don't think anyone has won the championship yet, have they," he asked.

"The league is not over, whether we are a part of it is for you to discuss. I think we're in the group of teams in the league that reach for the maximum potential.

"It could and maybe should have been under a lot more control at half-time than it was.

"I can't blame anyone for not trying to score that second goal, we invested a lot in that - at times maybe too much. We had to work as a team and individually to make sure the opposition don't score.

"Big praise for the subs to come on and make a big difference. That's what we need and have needed to be where we are.

"We have used most of the players in our squad and, now we're entering that final phase, we need everyone to be ready and to step up."
