Aberdeen climbed into the Ladbrokes Premiership top three as they extended their unbeaten run to four games with a 2-0 win at Livingston.

Aberdeen went ahead just after the hour when a Ryan Hedges corner was flicked on by Curtis Main and Andrew Considine poked home from close range.

Sam Cosgrove made the points safe three minutes into stoppage time when he was fouled in the box by Keaghan Jacobs and picked himself up to slot home his 11th goal of the season from the spot.

Livingston were wasteful and Scott Robinson and Chris Erskine were both clean through on goal in the first half, while Jon Guthrie rattled the woodwork after the break.

Ross County battled back from a goal down to record a 2-1 win at Motherwell.

The home side made their dominance count as Allan Campbell curled home James Scott's smart lay off for the opening goal in the 61st minute.

Brian Graham climbed off the bench to level with 15 minutes remaining after Michael Gardyne sent him clear to slide the ball past Mark Gillespie.
