Scotland: Latest news from the Scottish Premiership

-

 Let's explore some of Saturday's news and stories from the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen 3 - 1 Motherwell

Aberdeen roared back to form with an emphatic win over Motherwell

Kevin van Veen's penalty offered only a consolation for Motherwell, who are 11 games without a league win. They are only off the bottom on goal difference. 

Duk's header capped Aberdeen's first-half dominance before two delicious finishes from Bojan Miovski halted the Pittodrie side's sequence of five straight defeats.

You can listen to the thoughts of Barry Robson in the video below.

Aberdeen had suffered a miserable run of form. Click the links below to read about some of their recent performances.

Hearts 3 - 1 Dundee United

Stephen Humphrys scored the goal of the season after his Hearts side came back to sink 10-man Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Humphrys scored Hearts' third goal in stoppage-time from his own half. That stunning strike came after Lawrence Shankland and Alex Cochrane turned the game in the hosts' favour in the last 20 minutes.

Steven Fletcher had given United a deserved lead before Ryan Edwards' red card for a tackle on Andy Halliday changed the game before the break.

Livingston 3 - 1 Kilmarnock 

Livingston moved up to fourth in the Scottish Premiership as three goals inside the opening half-an hour earned a comfortable win over Kilmarnock.

Joel Nouble made his mark on his first start since November, nodding the hosts in front. This was before a cushioned Bruce Anderson finish and a sensational Stephen Kelly volley left Kilmarnock stunned and struggling.

Christian Doidge's first goal for the visitors wasn't enough as the Ayrshire club continue their search for a first away league win of the season.

Livingston now continues their pursuit of Europe. That is something that will be a huge boost for the club's finances and profile. 

Watch the video below to see the highlights of the match.

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
