Raith Rovers 1-1 Dundee United: Scottish Championship leaders remain top after draw

Louis Moult's second-half header preserved Dundee United's unbeaten record

Unbeaten Dundee United remain top of the Scottish Championship after coming from behind to earn a draw with second-placed Raith Rovers.

It had looked like Rovers would moved above United at the summit after Lewis Vaughan headed home at the second attempt after meeting Josh Mullin's perfectly-placed cross.

But Jim Goodwin's United were much-improved after the interval, as substitute Louis Moult nodded in from a wicked corner to secure a priceless point.

The visitors came closest to snatching a winner through Glenn Middleton, but these sides could not be separated in a tightly-contested affair, with United remaining one point ahead of their Kirkcaldy hosts in the table.

Raith Rovers manager Ian Murray: "My overriding emotion is delight. A point overall is a fair result. We were the better team in the first half, and I thought Dundee United were the better in the second half.

"I'm really proud of my players today. We've shown we deserve to be in the position we are."

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin: "It was 100mph, it took a bit of time for the players to settle down, you could see the importance of the game.

"The players showed great character at a really difficult venue, the conditions as well made it a real challenge. A point on the road in this league against a team as good as Raith is not a disaster."
