Match Report: The Bulletin(Courtesy Steve Bell, who also supplied the Motherwell team information)
Manager Ancell's young team, who this season have gained a reputation second to none as masters in the arts and crafts of football, gave another masterly display against Leeds United in a floodlight friendly at Fir Park last night.
the score in no way exaaggerates the difference between the two teams. In fact Leeds were simply outclassed, even in the second period when they brought on three substitutes all to no avail.
The visitors had no answer to a Motherwell forward line whose all along the carpet play completely demoralised a defence in which only John Charlton, brother of the famous Bobby of England and Manchester United fame, stood up manfully to a thankless task.
If Cardiff was a moral boost to Scottish Football, this Motherwell victory was a champagne tonic to the 15,000 Scottish spectators.
