Match Recap

Greg Kiltie did it twice, but Motherwell had the last laugh in a five-goal thriller at Rugby Park. Kiltie's early strike put Kilmarnock ahead inside two minutes, only for Alex Lowry to level before the break and Sebastian Palmer-Houlden to flip the Premiership clash on its head just after halftime. Kilmarnock hit straight back through Tyreece John-Jules, and eleven minutes later Kiltie completed his brace to make it 3-2, turning a losing position into a Kilmarnock win. Both sides arrived scrapping for form rather than status: Motherwell sit ninth on 8 points off one win in five, Kilmarnock twelfth on 5, and this result hands Kilmarnock the better finish to a wild afternoon. Neither Josh Fowler, the league's top scorer, nor anyone else from the chart's top ten found the net here, this one belonged entirely to Kiltie and Kilmarnock's response. Watch how John-Jules and Kiltie tore the game back open in a six-minute window after Motherwell thought they'd seized control.
