Motherwell, Scotland (SportsNetwork.com) - Russell Anderson rescued a point for Aberdeen at Fir Park on Saturday, scoring at the death to grant his side a 2-2 draw with Motherwell.
Stephen McManus wasted little time in giving Motherwell the lead after a scoreless opening period, striking two minutes after the halftime interval to put the home side in front.
Adam Rooney marked his debut with an equalizer in the 67th minute, but Motherwell responded just two minutes later through Zaine Francis-Angol.
It looked as if Francis-Angol's strike would hold up as the winner, but Anderson notched a tying goal deep into second-half stoppage time to see the two sides remain separated by just one point in the Scottish Premier League table.
