Motherwell winger Joe Efford felt his side would take at least a point from their clash against Hibs at Easter Road, but says Connor Shields' red card was the turning point.The game had been pretty even until that point, but Shields' 56th-minute dismissal for a foul on Ryan Porteous left the Steelmen up against it, and the Hibs man then headed in Martin Boyle's cross 11 minutes later to bag the winner.Efford praised boss Stevie Hammell for throwing on Dean Cornelius and Louis Moult late in the game in a bid to snatch a point, but says it just wasn't their day.The 26-year-old American said: "It was an even game right up until the red card.

I think the team felt good, and in the final third we need to be a bit more clinical, but things just didn't go our way."I thought we were going to take at least a point out of it.

It was a really even match, we had opportunities, they had a few things, but the red card was unfortunate."It was the turning point."I still felt that we had something in us to get a point from the game."You always feel that positive and you feel good, keep moving forward, and try to score the goal and get the point back."Hats off to the manager for trying to get a point from a game like this.Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
