MAN BY MAN: MOTHERWELL

Feb 2 2005

Compiled By Colin Duncan

Gordon Marshall 6 One amazing one-handed block but powerless to stop Hearts' late double. Martyn Corrigan 7 Strong and solid at the back. Never allowed Hamill or Miller into the match. David Partridge 8 Another rock-solid display. Stephen Craigan 7 Number of crucial interceptions then popped up to net header.

Steven Hammell 6 Excellent free-kick for opener. Conceded too many free-kicks in own half.

Jim Paterson 6 Provided decent outlet on the right flank, but not involved often enough. Kevin McBride 7 Patrolled area in front of the back four to great effect. Hardly wasted a pass.

Scott Leitch 8 Calm and controlled performance from old head in the middle of the park.

Phil O'Donnell 7 Experience proved vital. First game for six weeks but it never showed.

Richie Foran 7 Produced goal-line saving clearance then slammed home penalty.

Scott McDonald 7 Proved a real handful for Pressley and won penalty.

Substitutes: David Clarkson3 Missed two great chances to seal tie in dying minutes of regulation time.

Marc Fitzpatrick 6 Last-gasp winner made defender an unlikely hero.

Paul Quinn 3 Not a lot of time to make an impact. Subs not used: Shaun Fagan,Barry John Corr.
