Derek McInnes: Victory over Motherwell "best three points of the season"

Derek McInnes says that Aberdeen's victory over Motherwell could be their "best three points of the season".

Derek McInnes has said that Aberdeen's Scottish Premiership victory over Motherwell could be their "best three points of the season".

The Dons came from behind to beat the relegation battlers 2-1 on Friday evening.

"Motherwell were far more aggressive than us, we were out of sorts," McInnes told BBC Sport.

"They were excellent and deservedly went in front, but we showed why we are where we are in the league in the second half - the performance showed how important the points were to us.

"We were winning headers, second balls, we played with far more pace and we were far more aggressive throughout. We thoroughly deserved the win in the end."

The victory puts Aberdeen just three points behind league leaders Celtic.
