Motherwell paid the penalty for not taking their chances as they were held to a goal-less draw by managerless Dundee United.
In form striker Kevin van Veen had a spot-kick saved in the first half, hit the crossbar and saw a late goal-bound effort turned round the post in a dominant display from the Steelmen that, somehow, didn't see them come away with all three points.
United had lost an eye-watering 23 goals in their last four league outings, but Motherwell couldn't find their way past their defence under the stewardship of interim boss Liam Fox.
