Motherwell boss Stevie Hammell inspired his side's 1-0 win over Livingston after giving them a half-time rollicking.
That paid dividends in the second half as Kevin van Veen's penalty gave them back-to-back Premiership wins as they soared up to third in the table.
It was helped by sub Dylan Bahamboula receiving two yellow cards inside a three-minute spell, leaving Livi down to 10 men for the last 13 minutes.
