Standout star sets the tone for Motherwell against Aberdeen

Elijah Just struck in the 28th minute, his left-footed finish setting Motherwell up for a 2-0 win over Aberdeen.

Early on he created two chances with crisp deliveries that forced saves. He then arrived in the centre to guide home after Stephen Welsh kept a corner alive, breaking the game open with a composed finish.

He drew another save with a controlled effort from a left-side cross (33.). On the stroke of half time he supplied another tempting ball, with Tom Sparrow's header flashing just over.

After the restart, Just tested the goalkeeper from range (50.). He kept attacking central pockets, drew fouls, and carried Motherwell up the pitch as pressure built.

He finished with four attempts, three on target, four key passes and six touches in the box. That blend of threat and service kept the Dons pinned back in their own area.

Motherwell visit the Dons in the Scottish Cup next. The Dons then host Dundee in the league. Motherwell travel to St Mirren.
