Motherwell returned to competitive action after a six week layoff with Kilmarnock visiting Fir Park for a festive cracker. 

After a cagey start to the match, Motherwell began to take reigns and Kevin van Veen netted the opener with a superb finish from Blair Spittal's pullback.

Motherwell looked to be home and hosed when Callum Slattery doubled their advantage on the hour mark before Alan Power seen red for a shocking tackle on Paul McGinn.

However, when the visitors went down to ten men, the game changed. For the worse.

A quickfire double from Kilmarnock, a Paul McGinn own goal and a Liam Polworth screamer, seen the game level and left Steven Hammell scratching his head as to how his side didn't claim victory.
