Dundee 2, Motherwell 2, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 30-January-16

Dundee had to settle for a 2-2 draw against a improved Motherwell side from earlier in the season, The steelmen got off to a great start scoring in 3 minutes when Cadden scored from 15 yards for a fine goal. Dundee came back quickly and after great wing play from Steward his chipped pass found Paul McGowan and the midfielder fired the ball high into the net. Minutes later and Loy hit the ball from 8 yards out. Motherwell regained the lead Pearson played a neat one-two and ran on the score with ease. Dundee kept playing football and were unlucky a few times not to level the game. The closest was a 30 yard shot from Holt which the Well did well to tip over the ball.

Second half and it was much the same with both teams having a go, Arturo came on for his debut, replacing Loy after 69 minutes, and Craig Wighton came on for Loy 10 minutes later. Gary Harkins had a shot deflected just past the post on 86 minutes, and in the scramble that followed the corner Dundee were awarded a penalty. It looked pretty soft Cadden had fouled Holt in the box, Kane Hemmings scored from the spot after the protest had died down.

So a draw it was in the end, maybe on another day Dundee would have taken all three points.
