Dundee 2 Aberdeen 3, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 04-October-14

Dundee were very unlucky to lose 3-2 on Saturday at Dens Park, the game started a terrific pace and Aberdeen scored in 4 minutes when a cross was deflected into the path of Considine who headed past Letheren who was helpless to stop as defenders in front of the Dundee keeper. Dundee took the game to the dons and levelled two minutes later with a wonderful strike from Gary Harkins which flew into the net to leave Langfield without a ghost of saving the shot. Dundee had a good spell and were unlucky a few times, before Aberdeen went ahead again when another cross ball was not defended right and James McPake headed into his own net. Dundee came close again with Clarkson just missed to touch the ball home from a good cross into the box. The striker was then so unlucky when his drive beat Langfield but the post saved the Dons keeper. So 2-1 at half-time so far it had been a really good game of football.

Second half and Dundee again attacked the Aberdeen goal and were awarded a penalty when Taylor seemed to handle and then ten seconds late fouled McAlister which one made the Referee point to the spot l don't know but the Dundee fans did not care. Once the dust settled David Clarkson blasted home the kick to make the score line 2-2. Dundee continued to play some neat football and as often happens Aberdeen went ahead for the third time Goodwillie heading home with a powerful header which maybe could have been defended better. Still Dundee came back and were unlucky with Jamie Langfield saving well from McAlister and Wighton.

Dundee were unlucky today and they played some fine football, but we need to defend cross ball, hopefully our injured players are back soon as we are weak in several positions.
