Okay, that's that. A great night for County, another sore night for Motherwell.

How much longer can their poor run of form continue? Stuart Kettlewell needs to turn it around as soon as possible. And he won't have Calum Butcher or Dan Casey for the next wee while - they both went off hurt, the latter seriously.

In Dingwall, Derek Adams has got a big reaction from his players. They look a lot safer than some of their relegation rivals do but there is a long way to go.

Until next time.

Ross County manager Derek Adams tells BBC Sport Scotland: "I was delighted for the players, because we started quickly - as we have done in all three games. Murray got his header - he was brilliant tonight, ran the line well. Him and White caused them problems, Dhanda off the front too.

"I've been conscious to look at anything else, I can't change the past. I can only look at the present and I said that to the players. I don't care who you are, what you've done, it's from today onwards that matters to me.

"Tonight, what Dhanda did was get a goal and an assist. He needs that. He's got undoubted talent and off the ball he was very good too. Randall and Allardice were excellent too, defensively we were sound. The only downside was Will getting sent off late in the game."

"You always look at your former team and former players, but I'm only concerned with Ross County. That's who I have to look after. Tonight was about beating Motherwell, and let's be honest - they wouldn't care about us."

Stuart Kettlewell has spoken to BBC Sport Scotland: "Disappointed doesn't begin to sum it up. It's probably my sorest night in football. The level of performance was miles away from how we started the game and throughout the 90 minutes.

"Ross County were better all over the pitch, man for man, every facet of the game. That disappointed me because I said coming in, I didn't see a gulf between the teams. But tonight there was.

"I don't feel we got levels from individuals or the collective. Quite simply, the travelling support got nowhere near what they were due. The biggest frustration for me is, this level of consistency. We made changes and found ourselves chasing it again.

"There's only so many times a team come back. That's been the story for us for a period of time. This is by far the worst performance in what has been a terrible run for us. It was miles worse than anything we've seen until this point. Quite simply, they're coming up short.

"We can do nothing but apologise. That's nowhere near good enough, I'm the first one to tell you. It's nowhere near the levels we've hit. We all must take responsibility for it. Ultimately the buck stops with me."

A damning stat for Stuart Kettlewell - Motherwell have failed to win in their last 12 games in the Scottish Premiership.

Their last joint longest winless streak was from 8 November 2020 to 23 January 2021.

That run saw Steven Robinson lose his job, with Graham Alexander coming in to replace him.

It's not been a bad introduction for Derek Adams. Three games, two wins, and now they sit a point off the top six. It's been a good bounce for the returning gaffer.

They are also yet to concede a goal since Adams' return - 318 minutes and three clean sheets.

From bad to worse for Motherwell. 12 games without a win, and a 3-0 tonking to boot.

County were at their free-flowing best. Derek Adams said he wanted to get their forward players on the ball and that's exactly what they did. Yan Dhanda scored one and set up another, Simon Murray was a handful all night.

It was a more than deserved 3-0 victory. That said, Motherwell were unlucky not to score. Georgie Gent did his utmost after his introduction at half-time, but it wasn't enough.

Thoughts must also go to Motherwell defender Dan Casey, who picked up a nasty injury in the dying seconds of the game.

Oh dear. Dan Casey is in a lot of pain. His leg turned really awkwardly as he tried to tackle the County attacker.

Hopefully not as bad as it looks, but it looks bad.

I'm currently trying to figure out why Will Nightingale has been ordered off by David Dickinson. He looks as bemused as I do.

He was booked for that foul on Oli Shaw earlier, but I don't know why he's been booked again. Does he catch Blair Spittal? Either way, he's off.

Is that in the box?! Will Nightingale catches Oli Shaw and it's right on the line...

It's just a free-kick, and George Gent whips it inches over the bar.

All too little, too late.

Big shout for a handball against Dan Casey, and it does look like he tried to catch that County cross... but it's not given, or pulled back.

Ah, we've seen it on the replay and it's outside the box. Casey is one lucky boy.

That should have been the fourth.

The resulting corner sees Will Nightingale somehow miss his free header from a yard out. The ball drops to Jack Baldwin and he stabs wide from a similar distance.

This is as poor a Motherwell performance as I've seen all seen, and maybe as poor defensively as I've seen from any side.

Almost a goal back for Motherwell! Georgie Gent cuts the ball back to Mika Beireth who takes a fine touch and fires a powerful shot at goal - but Jack Baldwin is back on the line to clear away. That's superb from the County captain.

They go up the other end of the pitch and Simon Murray toe pokes at goal, with Liam Kelly sprawling to his right to tip past the post.

James Brown gets up to take the free-kick and instead of crossing, pulls it back to Victor Loturi.

The midfielder curls it into the side netting with his first touch! Almost an instant impact from the sub.

Georgie Gent scythes down James Brown on the edge of the box. That wasn't the best challenge and Brown has taken a sore one.

Victor Loturi is comes on, but he replaces Connor Randall.

Almost a comeback/consolation goal from Motherwell. A cross is floated to the back post and Georgie Gent powers his header at goal, but Ross Laidlaw makes a good save.

Moments later, Gent fires a cross into the box and Mika Biereth's flick goes inches wide of the post. It is not their night.

Theo Bair is the latest Motherwell player hooked. Jon Obika replaces him.

'Go and score a hat-trick, big man' was the message, I imagine.

Dan Casey has just controlled the ball about 40 yards out and tried a Hollywood effort.

It's nearer the corner flag. Stuart Kettlewell isn't happy and it's not hard to understand why.

There are the three subs. Shane Blaney, Bevis Mugabi, and Conor Wilkinson stay in the sheds.

Another stat for you, Well fans... Motherwell have failed to score a first-half goal in 13 of their 16 games- no team has failed to do so more often in the Scottish Premiership this season.
