Looking at the morning papers it looked like Motherwell had snatched a point against Dunfermline but if you were among the 4,220 crowd you would already realise the Steelmen deserved theanything they got from the match. Martyn Corrigan's late late equaliser was justice in the eys of the home support. Dunfermline who went in at half time 2 - 0 up courtesy of goals from Stevie Crawford and Craig Brewster but these days Motherwell don't know when they are beat and came out in the second half fighting.


Dunfermline almost took the lead after 10 minutes when Pars midfielder Nicholson hit a goal bound free kick but veteran Gordon Marshall did well to save.


Dunfermline eventually took the lead through top goalscorer Stevie Crawford. Their lead was doubled when veteran hitman Craig Brewster pounced on Stephen Pearson's poor control.


Pearson who was watched by a host of scouts made up for his error by pulling Motherwell back into the match. The 21 year old picked up the ball on the edge of the area and slotted past Stillie.


Martyn Corrigan, usually goalstopper turned to goal hero when he levelled the score 3 minutes into injury time. The full back told the official site " Sometimes in football wee breaks can make the difference, Pearo’s goal gave us a lift and they were sitting in and this made out job a wee bit easier in the attack. "


" I thought we had run out of time but Hammell crossed with his right foot, which is almost as unusual as me scoring and being at the front post, I am usually at the back post! "


" The unbeaten run is now seven games, that’s good for us and good for the gaffer. We had a hard time last season and we are just enjoying things this season. "


Terry Butcher was delighted the way the team came back from 2 - 0 down, he said " Last year we would have lost that game by three or four as the belief would have been small but we knew if we got one goal the crowd would get behind us. Magnificent achievement to come back from two down against Dunfermline "
