First-half goals from Kevin Nisbet and Topi Keskinen ensure Aberdeen win their 12th consecutive game in all competitions and go top of the table for now.
Dundee gave everything they had in the second half but could not create enough chances to complete the comeback started through Simon Murray's penalty kick just before the break.

Ross Graham (pen)
They've done it! United have fought their way back from two goals down.
And Ross Graham was the man who slotted the penalty. I didn't have him down as the United penalty taker.
This has been an absolute barnstormer.

Dundee 1-2 Aberdeen
Aberdeen have not had a shot in the last 30 minutes.
Changes are on the way for the final moments to freshen things up. Shayden Morris and Vicente Besuijen are on for Topi Keskinen and Leighton Clarkson.
Lawrence Shankland
Hearts finally score and Lawrence Shankland is certainly claiming it after Yan Dhanda's corner was knocked into the net.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon was up there and it really could have been anybody's but the headline is, Hearts are level deep into stoppage time.

EIGHT minutes added on...

Wow! Emmanuel Adegboyega almost scores a stunning equaliser.
The defender takes a wonderful touch to turn away from his marker in the box and frees himself to shoot... But Kieran O'Hara makes a superb stop.

BBC Scotland at Dens Park
Credit to Dundee. They could have crumbled after going a couple of goals down after half an hour or so. Instead, they've been right in this one all along.
After going in at the interval 2-1 down, they've hardly let Aberdeen out their own half but just can't quite find that moment of quality to equalise.
Credit to the Dons too. Free-flowing before the break, they've been resolute in the face of the Dundee onslaught and are still on course to maintain their perfect start to the season.
Motherwell 2-1 St Mirren
Really poor cross from James Scott... St Mirren are really wasteful in the final third and must improve their delivery if they are to find an equaliser.
Hearts 0-1 Ross County
Hearts take a different approach with some intricate passes at the edge of the box and Jorge Grant's low shot is well saved by Ross Laidlaw.
Craig Sibbald
That decision is overturned after a trip to the monitor...
Grant Irvine is the VAR who called referee Craig Napier over. He's decided to wasn't a foul from Miller Thomson, and in the end it's a great call from the referee to allow play to continue.
We've got a grandstand finish at Rugby Park now.
Kilmarnock 3-1 Dundee United
Well, that is a controversial decision from referee Craig Napier.
Craig Sibbald rockets one in from 25 yards, although Kieran O'Hara doesn't cover himself in glory as he gets a good hand to it.
Play is pulled back though, as Miller Thomson had put in a strong challenge on Liam Polworth to win the ball back for United.
Will VAR intervene?
Dundee 1-2 Aberdeen
Dundee have seriously struggled to make the most of set-pieces this afternoon. It could cost them.
A wild corner from Sammy Braybrooke flies out the other side of the pitch - prompting groans and ironic jeers from the home and away support in the ground, respectively.
Lennon Miller scored twice as Motherwell beat St Mirren
Teenager Lennon Miller again inspired Motherwell to a gutsy victory after his double earned a come-from-behind Scottish Premiership win over St Mirren.
The 18-year-old backed up last week's League Cup quarter-final heroics and found the net twice inside the first half after Killian Phillips gave the visitors an early lead.
Both teams were reduced to 10 men after the interval as the game descended into controversy.
Just two minutes after the restart, Motherwell defender Dan Casey handled the ball on the goal-line to deny Phillips a certain second goal and was shown a straight red.
St Mirren captain Mark O'Hara stepped up to take the resulting penalty, but his spot-kick was tipped on to the post by Aston Oxborough to keep Motherwell in front.
The visitors' man advantage lasted just 14 minutes though as wing-back Scott Tanser was also dismissed for a second bookable offence.
Stephen Robinson's side dominated the remainder of the match but failed to create any clear chances as Motherwell held on for all three points.
It was the Miller show once again, for the first half at least.
After last week's calm stoppage-time spot kick to put his side into the semi-finals of the League Cup, the teenager stepped up once more.
Not only did he score both Motherwell goals, but he also had more touches in the opposition box than any other player.
Miller is naturally a central midfielder, but has been deployed as a right inside forward as part of a narrow front three in Motherwell's last two matches.
That certainly doesn't look like its bothering him. He is flourishing in his new position and can add versality to his long list of desirable attributes.
You've got to feel for St Mirren. On 48 minutes, they had a man advantage and reliable captain O'Hara was standing over a penalty kick.
He had only missed three of his previous 19 career spot kicks, but couldn't beat Aston Oxborough from 12 yards.
The miss was then compounded 14 minutes later when Tanser was controversially shown a second yellow card.
A second booking was an extremely harsh punishment for the full-back who made minimal contact with his opposite number in an unthreatening area of the pitch.
However, VAR could not intervene as it was not a straight red.
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell: "It was a rollercoaster. When you go a goal down, you start to see the reaction and the personality of the players.
"We relied on our goalkeeper [Oxborough] massively after the penalty. What a moment for him, it's almost like a goal for him.
"In the end, the players stood tall and I thought they managed the game really well.
"It's a massive victory for us and it keeps that feelgood factor going."
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "I thought we put in a really good performance and should've won the match.
"We created numerous chances and we dominated large parts of the game.
"I can only control what we are in control of. All we can control is taking our chances.
"I'm not going to not be standing on the touchline for next week by criticising officials."

Motherwell failed to win all three of their league meetings with St. Mirren last season (D2 L1), picking up just two points; only against Aberdeen and Celtic (both 1) did they earn fewer in 2023-24.
St. Mirren have only won one of their last six league trips to Motherwell (D2 L3), a 1-0 win in September 2023.
Motherwell have won two of their last four home league games (D1 L1), as many as their previous 15 beforehand (W2 D6 L7).
St. Mirren have only won one of their last nine away league outings (D3 L5), a 3-1 win at Dundee in May last season.
Toyosi Olusanya has scored in each of his last three league games; the last player to score in four straight top-flight appearances for St. Mirren was Andy Dorman in April 2009, whose fourth such match in that streak was against Motherwell.
