Good goals, VAR controversy and some dreadful defending - what is not to like? Aberdeen have been very good - but their defending for the two Livi goals was dreadful. Kevin Nisbet has bailed them out with a stoppage-time double, benefitting from the ammunition that has been in very short supply for him over the course of the season until now. We were preparing to tell you the news that, as things stood, Livingston were off the bottom. Then Kevin Nisbet scored twice and everything got torn up. Four goals, some dreadful defending, and plenty of controversy for good measure. Aberdeen looked to be 2-0 up before Nisbet had a strike ruled out controversially for offside. Livingston then scored two to flip the game and it looked set to be another miserable day for the home fans at Pittodrie. But Nisbet was in the right place at the right time against to strike twice and put the Dons back in front. Kevin Nisbet only had one league goal before this afternoon HT: Falkirk 2-0 Hibernian A dominant display from the hosts as Barney Stewart's double gives Falkirk a healthy lead at the break - and deservingly so. On both occasions, Falkirk winger Calvin Miller did all the dirty work on the left-hand side, setting Stewart up for two easy tap-ins. Hibs have yet to show a positive reaction from last weekend's cup defeat as John Mc Glynn's side have been relentless in all areas. Kevin Nisbet It's raining goals at Pittodrie - and for Kevin Nisbet. It's almost a carbon copy of the second goal. This time it's Topi Keskinen who slides a ball across the box and Nisbet, unmarked, tucks away. There's a very quick check for offside, but the goal stands. HT: Motherwell 2-0 Kilmarnock Brian Mc Lauchlin BBC Sport Scotland at Fir Park The home crowd rightly give their players a standing ovation as they go off to enjoy their half-time cup of tea. And, with Killie now reduced to 10 men, the visitors have a mountain to climb if they are to rally anything from the game. Kevin Nisbet Kevin Nisbet - and no VAR check this time! It's a brilliant ball in from the left, from the boot of young Mitchell Frame on his full Aberdeen debut. He puts it on a plate for Nisbet, who scores from six yards out. Could the keeper do better? It flies right past him. HT Falkirk 2-0 Hibernian Martin Dowden BBC Sport Scotland at Falkirk Stadium There's no argument Falkirk don't deserve to be ahead. It's arguable it should be more than two. They have totally exposed Hibs throughout. They know exactly what they're doing, play some great football and create chances. Hibs have looked a distant second best. A bad week is quickly getting worse. Motherwell in total control at the break after that action-packed end to the half. Both their goals were the result of superb football and their fine home record is set to continue. Killie boss Neil Mc Cann was booked for dissent after Tawanda Maswanhise doubled Motherwell's advantage. Tawanda Maswanhise scores for Motherwell Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston Home defender Nicky Devlin is now into the book as well, for wiping out Conor Mc Lennan who was trying to break away for Livingston. A real flurry. Seven minutes of additional time as well. Joshua Mullin Kai Kennedy (pen) Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston A couple of yellow cards flashed to both sides. Macaulay Tait is cautioned for a tackle from behind on Nicky Devlin and then Aberdeen's Mats Knoester reacts angrily to a decision made by referee Ross Hardie. Classic dissent. Tawanda Maswanhise It's all going wrong for Kilmarnock. Tom Sparrow gets away down the right and picks out Tawanda Maswanhise, who finds the bottom corner with a fine volley. The goal came just 47 seconds after Tom Lowery was dismissed. Motherwell 1-0 Kilmarnock Kilmarnock midfielder Tom Lowery takes out Tawanda Maswanhise and picks up his second yellow card. A massive uphill battle for the visitors now. Barney Stewart Barney Stewart at the double! Almost a carbon copy of his first strike. Calvin Miller again does well to skip past the Hibs defense, finds Stewart who slips it past Sallinger to extend Falkirk's lead just before the break. Jack Hamilton Motherwell 1-0 Kilmarnock More wonderful build-up play from Motherwell, but in-form forward Tawanda Maswanhise puts his header wide. Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston A flashshot from Kenan Bilalovic from outside the box. The winger catches it sweet, whips it low, but past the post. The last five minutes have swung back in Aberdeen's favour. Can they find an equaliser before the break? Falkirk 1-0 Hibernian Kyrell Wilson should double the home side's lead. The winger's shot at goal from inside the box is sent wide of the target. Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston Mahamadou Susoho scored Livingston's equaliser Match report to appear here.

The Steelmen could win back-to-back league matches within a single season against Killie for the first time since 2019-20. Kilmarnock are winless in their last eight league visits to Motherwell (D4 L4) since a 2-0 victory in December 2020 under Alex Dyer. Motherwell have won six of their last seven home league matches (D1), including each of their last four in a row; the Steelmen last won five in succession within a single season in March 2019. Kilmarnock have only won two of their last 24 away league games (D7 L15), and none of their last eight (D3 L5) since beating Dundee United 2-0 in September. No Scottish Premiership side has had more direct attacks this season than Motherwell (43, level with Aberdeen), with their three direct attack goals also a joint-high (level with St. Mirren).
