Gunners loanee Mika Biereth will be delighted with his efforts on the weekend.
Returning from injury, Mika came on in the 75th minute of Motherwell’s Scottish Premiership game against Ross County, his side 2-0 down at the time.
But Mika won a penalty and pulled one back from the spot, before County increased their lead again.
Nevertheless, in the 88th minute, Mika setup Connor Wilkinson to score before Luca Ross added a 94th minute equaliser.
The dramatic comeback saw Motherwell end their run of four straight defeats and get a point on the board to climb to sixth.
