Morton 1 Dundee 3, Cappielow, First Division, 16/April/11

Dundee claimed three very vital points towards safety with a fine 3-1 win at Cappielow. which is always a hard place to come to.

Dundee started very well and got off to a great start when good play led to Matt Lockwood to cross to the back post where young striker Leighton McIntosh headed home to score his second goal for the club. Dundee played some fine stuff and with a bit of luck they could have scored 3 or four goals. Morton played okay as well and Douglas had a couple of fine saves. I think we got off with a break from the ref when O'Brien went down in the box but the ref booked him for diving. I thought it was a penalty. But in 42 minutes Dundee got the vital second goal and what a goal is was, Gary Harkins used some skill to make space and he beat the keeper with a superb chip from the edge of the box.
 

 

Morton started the second half very positively and Rab Douglas had to look sharp on a few occasions, but they did pull one back when O'Brien scored a fine goal, it was end to end stuff now and Dundee defended well to keep the Ton at bay, but Harkins could have scored again but the Morton keeper saved well. But with 18 mins to go Leighton McIntosh wrapped up the 3 points when clean through he tried to chip the keeper who saved but the ball fell kindly and he headed home to send the Dundee fans wild with delight.

So another fine performance and now might just need a point at Dingwall to make sure of First Division football next season.
