Two goals in as many second-half minutes ensured Aberdeen came from behind to beat Motherwell 2-1 and cut the gap to Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic to three points.

Scott McDonald followed up his equaliser against Kilmarnock last weekend to put relegation-threatened Motherwell in front when he slotted home eight minutes before half-time at Pittodrie on Friday.

Aberdeen responded after the break, though, and Ash Taylor headed home a Niall McGinn corner to equalise after 50 minutes, then a mix-up between Motherwell defender Louis Laing and goalkeeper George Long gifted the home side the lead a couple of minutes later.
