Moses Ebiye came off the bench last weekend to deliver a stunning stoppage-time winner for Motherwell in their away league match against St. Johnstone.

With just eight minutes on the pitch, Ebiye worked his magic, securing a thrilling 2-1 victory for Motherwell in their Scottish Premiership clash last Saturday, footballrover reports.

Despite St. Johnstone dominating much of the match at McDiarmid Park, Ebiye and his Motherwell teammates were more clinical, creating and converting key goal-scoring opportunities.

The visitors took an early lead through Dan Casey, who struck just 11 minutes into the game after his delivery from the corner was poorly handled by the goalkeeper, who deflected it into his own post, a goal that they held firm until halftime.

FULL-TIME!

However, 19 minutes into the second half, Benjamin Kimpioka levelled the score for St. Johnstone after his effort also took a slight deflection from the goalkeeper.

With only four minutes left in regulation time, Moses Ebiye replaced Davor Zdravkovski and wasted no time making his presence felt.

In the dying moments of stoppage time, Ebiye found the back of the net, sealing the win with a powerful header off a corner kick, and that ensured Motherwell took all three points.

Adding to St. Johnstone’s misery, Jack Sanders received a second yellow card just two minutes later for a reckless challenge, reducing the home side to ten men.

An electric ending that should give us confidence for when we return to action 🙌

Moses Ebiye’s heroics have been part of a stellar run for Motherwell this season, with the team now on a three-game winning streak.

They kicked off their success in the League Cup Playoffs with a narrow 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock, followed by a commanding 3-1 win against Hearts, and now this dramatic 2-1 triumph over St. Johnstone.

This latest victory has propelled Motherwell to fifth place on the league table with seven points, just five behind leaders Celtic.

After the international break, Motherwell will face Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium, aiming to continue their impressive form.
