Ten-man Motherwell went down to a slender defeat against Hibs at Easter Road, but gave as good as they for long spells despite being a man short for most of the second half.
Connor Shields was shown a straight red card in 56 minutes for pulling down Ryan Porteous as he bore down on goal.
And Porteous popped up with a brave headed goal to put Hibs in the lead 11 minutes later.
