Tomas Cvancara converted another crucial penalty as a major VAR intervention helped Celtic come from behind to beat Motherwell 3-1.<\/p>\n
The Czech striker followed up his Scottish Cup shoot-out winner at Ibrox with Celtic’s second goal in the 72nd minute after Emmanuel Longelo had been dismissed for a challenge on Daizen Maeda as the Japan forward headed wide from a corner.<\/p>\n
Referee John Beaton had initially given a goal kick but a lengthy look at the VAR monitor at the behest of Kevin Clancy changed the complexion of the game.<\/p>\n
Both sides had netted in the first half courtesy of some high pressing, Motherwell through Elijah Just.<\/p>\n
Yang Hyun-jun quickly levelled and the winger rounded off the scoring as the 10 men took risks.<\/p>\n
