Motherwell move to the top of the Scottish Premier League thanks to a 3-3 draw with Aberdeen.

Motherwell have moved to the top of the Scottish Premier League with a 3-3 draw against Aberdeen.

It was the home side who started the better and they took the lead after six minutes when Gavin Rae pounced on a loose ball to finish from close range.

Motherwell improved as the half developed, however, and were level moments before the interval when Michael Higdon converted from close range.

The away side grabbed their second moments into the second period when Shaun Hutchinson was on hand to finish from outside the box.

Motherwell added a third through Nicky Law late on, while Niall McGinn grabbed what appeared to be a consolation for the home side five minutes from time.

However, there was to be one final chance, and it was converted by Josh Magennis to level it at 3-3.
