Stefan Gartenmann's goal roared Pittodrie into life on a driech nightAberdeen pulled off a miraculous comeback as they came from three goals down to rescue a dramatic draw with Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.
The Dons looked dead and buried as they gifted their visitors three goals before the half-hour mark, with Theo Bair scoring twice and Adam Devine netting the third.
A swift double change from manager Neil Warnock changed everything, with Duk scoring seconds after his introduction and Stefan Gartenmann slotting another before half-time.
Duk got his second and Aberdeen's third just five minutes into the second half, before Bojan Miovski had a strike ruled out for offside.
Motherwell also had a potential winner ruled out by Kevin Clancy after VAR intervened following Harry Paton's close-range effort.
Motherwell move up to seventh while Aberdeen remain ninth, with both sides on 26 points.
