Spartans picked up their second win of the SWPL season with a hard-fought victory at Motherwell.

Both sides came into the match following defeats and with only a point separating them, promising a tight contest. And so it proved with shots on target few and far between in the first half.

Spartans finally broke the deadlock as the hour approached. Izzy Young found Niamh Noble, who fired home.

Then, with two minutes remaining, Olivia Hurrell's strike secured an impressive win on the road.

Spartans remain seventh in the table but move on to seven points while Well have sustained three successive losses.
