Motherwell secured their first win in five games with a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Dundee United.

The match was a tough one for Motherwell, who had to battle against a strong United side that were looking to get back on track after a poor run of form. Despite the pressure from the visitors, Motherwell stuck to their game plan and dominated possession throughout the match.

In the 25th minute, Motherwell finally broke through when a cross into the box was headed home by substitute Marko Maric. The goal was well-deserved as it came after a period of sustained pressure from the hosts.

Dundee United tried to respond in the second half but could not find a way past Motherwell's defense. The visitors' attempts at creating chances were thwarted by the Motherwell goalkeeper, who made several key saves to keep his team in front.

Despite the narrow victory, Motherwell can take heart from the fact that they have now won two out of three matches under new manager Stephen Robinson. The team will be hoping to build on this momentum as they look to secure more victories in the coming weeks.
