Johansson defies odds with early Motherwell success

New boss Alfred Johansson has turned a daunting rebuild into a winning start at Motherwell.

What happened. Alfred Johansson has led Motherwell to three straight wins, including a 2-1 victory at Hibernian, despite key departures and a tough schedule.

• Followed Jens Berthel Askou, who left for Toulouse.
• Lost key players Elijah Just, Elliot Watt, and Calum Ward.
• Summer recruit Martin Moormann impressed defensively.

“We have to praise the spirit of the team because at times we had to ride out storms.”
