Dundee have a chance of a quick reply when a cross falls to Gary Harkins at the back post, but a superb block by Keith Watson from the midfielder's drive means the home side have to be satisfied with a corner.
GOALpublished at 13:32 British Summer Time 21 September 2014
Dundee United surely put the game beyond Dundee as they score a quick-fire third goal.
Paul Paton's free-kick to the near post finds Callum Morris with space and the defender who joined from Dunfermline Athletic in the summer powers his header into the net from eight yards.

It is Jim McAlister's turn to be punished for losing possession. John Rankin's tackle sends Ryan Dow racing towards the Dundee goal and he switches the ball to his left before driving low into the corner of the net from 16 yards.

Greg Stewart bursts into the United penalty box, but Sean Dillon cuts across the striker to end the danger and goalkeeper Radoslaw Cierzniak sweeps it clear for a corner. Stewart is penalised for barging Dillon, so Dundee don't even get the compensation of a corner kick.

CLOSE!published at 12:57 British Summer Time 21 September 2014
Dundee's share of the ground rises in expectation as Philip Roberts sends a side-foot effort into the side-netting.
From some angles, that would have looked like it rippled the other side of the net.
The former Arsenal midfielder was picked out by a sublime Gary Harkins chip, but the volley was not accurate enough.

Dundee supporters fire some ironic cheers in the direction of Gary Mackay-Steven as the winger slips and falls to the deck.
Was his earlier collapse in the penalty area deserving of a spot kick, or a booking for diving? Give us your thoughts. Text on 80295 or Tweet @BBCSportScot.

Former Scotland defender Willie Miller on BBC Radio Scotland
"There might have been a bit of contact, but there has to be more than that. It didn't see any intent or enough to take Mackay-Steven's legs away from him. But the referee was well up with the play."
