    Dundee United captain Ryan Edwards tells BBC Scotland: "It's hard to describe it. We conceded too many soft goals.

    "People have paid money to come over and watch, and it ends like that... it's embarrassing.

    "We have to accept it. We have to take it. It's back to the bread and butter at the weekend."

    The goals United conceded were laughably soft.

    Conceding six goals in 26 minutes? That's the story right there.

    FT: AZ Alkmaar 7-0 Dundee Utd (agg 7-1)

    Dundee United boss Jack Ross tells BBC Scotland: "For every plaudit we received last Thursday, we deserve every bit of criticism we get on the back of that.

    "We conceded six goals in 26 minutes. That's not good irrespective of the opponent. It was a tough, tough night for us.

    "All the discipline we showed in our play last week, we didn't do as well. We didn't deal with the period of adversity well. The goals from our point of view were poor. It's a sore, sore night.

    "The players should feel sore, I feel sore. It's not a night for excuses, it's a night for realism."

    United need to show their fans that tonight was a one-off. They need to come out fighting in the next match.

    FT: AZ Alkmaar 7-0 Dundee Utd (agg 7-1)

    A week after everyone rightly waxing lyrical about United, they will now have to deal with the waves of criticism that will come their way.

    It's the fickle nature of football, but Jack Ross and his side need to dust themselves down quickly.

    The Tannadice club have just one point from their opening two league games and face a trip to Tynecastle on Sunday. Not easy.

    The distances between the United centre-backs and full-backs were huge.

    It's a hard one. You go over knowing its going to be tough but you're optimistic. To lose the game 7-0 is a real sore one. Sometimes you just have to move on. But that's easier said than done. It's a hard one to forget about.

  15. FULL-TIME: AZ Alkmaar 7-0 Dundee Utd (agg 7-1)published at 21:49 British Summer Time 11 August 2022

    A chastening night for United.

    After a hugely impressive first-leg victory, the Tannadice side collapsed in Alkmaar.

    A defeat that equals the record for the biggest European defeat in Scottish football history.

    Offt... that could have been a record-breaking moment. Not in a good way, obviously.

    Pavlidis chops onto his right foot and sees a finish bounce off the foot of the near post.

    United fans, the good news is we're in the 90th minute.

    The bad news is there are two minutes added.

  18. CLOSE!published at 88 mins

    Another chance for the Scottish side as Charlie Mulgrew's wide free-kick finds centre-back partner Ryan Edwards at the back post.

    But the United captain can't put his close-range header on target.

  19. CLOSE!published at 86 mins

    United win a free-kick in a dangerous position.

    Glenn Middleton places it and drills his strike into the wall before the ball drops just wide of the left-hand post.

    Another huge block, this time from Ryan Edwards, stops AZ making it eight.

    Barasi smashes a volley towards goal but the United captain is in the way almost on the goal line.
