Chris Sutton hails Motherwell as best team in Britain

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has described Motherwell as the most impressive team he has watched anywhere in Britain this season.

Sutton believes Steelmen boss Jens Berthel Askou has masterminded one of the campaign's most eye-catching transformations.

Under Askou, Motherwell have set a new club record for clean sheets, shipping fewer goals than elite European sides like Arsenal and Bayern Munich. With Tawanda Maswanhise leading the scoring charts, the side sits fourth in the Premiership, trailing Celtic by just two points.
