Goalscorer Ali Crawford is in the clear inside the United penalty box but squanders a chance to level by lofting the ball over advancing goalkeeper Radosław Cierzniak - and the crossbar!

Sean Dillon rises above the Accies defence and the big defender bullets a header into the net from eight yards.

Ahead of that goal action, there were five yellow cards in quick succession - Conor Towsend, Calum Butcher and Jarosław Fojut for United and Jon Routledge and Darian MacKinnon for Accies.

Tony Andreu's through ball splits the United defence and, although Ali Crawford's first effort bounds off the body of Radosław Cierzniak, it spins out of the goalkeeper's reach and the midfielder hooks a shot into the unguarded net.

Martin Glass: "GMS is too good, with too much potential, to go to a League One team. It has to be Championship or stay at Dundee United."

Simon Boendermaker: "If GMS is moving south, I'd be surprised if it wasn't to a Championship side, Clough must be looking at an Accies player."

Some might say we are guilty of overestimating the quality of some Premiership players in comparison to League One down south. But players going recently from Livingston to Sheffield United have shone despite moving from our Championship, so maybe not....

Tony Andreu fires over on the turn when he should have found the target. The midfielder was clearly offside, but it is all Accies at the minute.

Jesus Garcia Tena brings Accies back into the game with a quality goal that would grace La Liga in his Spanish homeland. The defender curls an exquisite free-kick past goalkeeper Radoslaw Cierzniak from 25 yards.

Gary Mackay-Steven wins the ball just outside the Hamilton penalty box and sets up Nadir Ciftci, but the striker fires wastefully over the crossbar from a promising position.

The news from the sidelines is that Accies left-back Stephen Hendrie went off because he was feeling unwell during the first half. Sub Louis Longridge has gone to right-back while Michael Devlin switched to the left - exactly where that second goal came from.

Tony Andreu has been quiet for Accies and he doesn't make the most of a rare sight at goal as he fires well over inside a crowded goalmouth.

Accies winger Dougie Imrie has recovered after a spot of treatment after awkwardly standing on the ball going into a challenge with Charlie Telfer.

Stuart Armstrong, the scorer of the first goal, plays the ball first time behind the Accies defence almost straight from kick-off and Gary Mackay-Steven neatly flicks it past goalkeeper Michael McGovern from 15 yards.

Hamilton kick-off the second half as United look to extend their unbeaten run at New Douglas Park to six games.

It looks like Stephen Hendrie, the Accies young full-back who is said to be attracting the attention of Celtic, is coming off at half-time. Trackside reporter Chick Young is suggesting that it could be an eye problem, with midfielder Louis Longridge being his replacement.

"Hamilton Accies are going to have to come out and try to get back into the game. With their quality in final third, I think United can pick them off."

Trackside reporter Chick Young is suggesting that the swirling wind on the pitch is spoiling the game as a spectacle. "It is difficult to play good football, but give the players credit for trying to play the ball," he tells BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
