Aberdeen 2-0 Motherwell: What the manager said

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou: "Very, very disappointed with us not getting anything from this game and not progressing in this cup.

"We really, really wanted to do that.

"The players gave everything out there, with some difficult circumstances.

"First of all, the first red card, then we have to readjust and reorganise a little bit, and I think we did that well.

"Then obviously they get a man sent off and momentum changes even more, and we made a few adjustments at half time.

"We were ready to punish them a little bit harder than we were able to in the last ten mins of the first half.

"Then we get Liam Gordon sent off in a decision that is a mystery to me and will remain a mystery to me because there are two players covering behind him who will, without a shadow of a doubt, get in his way or at least make sure it's never a very obvious goal chance that gets getting."
