Dundee produced their best home performance so far this season. In a game we had to win they came flying out the blocks, Shinnie making Ayr keeper Samson tip one over after a surging run into the box. It set the tone as wave after wave of attack. Dundee opened the scored when good play out of defence, then the ball was fed to Kerr who then made a great pass to Colin McMenamin who used his pace to get into the box where he finished with ease. Not long after after another surging run from Shinnie, who was fouled, up stepped Sean Higgins who curled the free kick into the top corner to put Dundee two up. Not long after and Harkins was so unlucky when a great piece of skill from the midfielder and his shot smashed off the bar.Into the second half and the same vein continued with Dundee in total control, and only saves from Samson kept the score down. But they got their third after a long throw was knocked on to McMenamin to head home for the final goal of the day.
Dundee: Bullock, Lauchlan, McKeown, O'Leary, Hart, Shinnie, Kerr, Harkins (Cameron 48), Malone, Higgins, (Hutchinson 80), McMenamin. Unused Subs: Soutar, Malcolm, Forsyth
Att: 4,270
A fine performance from the whole team, which gave manager Gordon Chisholm his first win. The system of 3-5-3 worked well, with O'Leary able to cover left back , it allowed Malone to push forward all day. So next up is Partick Thistle away, tough as usual but such is the nature of this league.
