In the torrential December rain, Motherwell headed to Dens Park to take on Dundee, looking to end a two-game losing run. With four changes to the side, the early signs were bright, with Lennon Miller and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos going close in the early stages. However, the good work early doors was undone when Dundee took the lead, but Stamatelopoulos got his second of the season just minutes later to level the game. Motherwell had their tails up, and the chances kept coming. They couldn't get ahead, however, and then the game changed completely. With Kofi Balmer down with a head knock, the referee played on as Dundee hit on the break. They subsequently scored, to the dismay of Motherwell players and staff. The following seven minutes would be a disaster for the Steelmen, conceding a third and fourth, killing the game off. In the latter stages, Steve Seddon, Moses Ebiye, and Miller all went close, but in the end, the game was spun on its head in controversial fashion.
