Howitt scored after a fine passing move (4) then a Davidson pen made it 2-0 (23). Unlucky Motherwell hit bar and post but scored (44). Howitt got his 2nd from a MacKenzie cross (53) but on the hour it was 3-2. MacKenzie headed the winner from a corner (68) then off-side denied Thistle a 5th. Up to 9th.
