Perth Saints had the better start as Dundee struggled to get going, and lost Lewis Spence to injury on 18 minutes. Jordan Piggott came on to replace the young midfielder. But six minutes later Saints took the lead slack play from Dundee and Davidson's shot spun of Jordan Piggott with the ball ending up in the net.
Soon after Dundee had a couple of chances with Murray and Deacon going close for the dark blues. Just eight minutes before half-time and Saints go 2-0 up. Another sloppy goal to lose with Kane having a easy tap in after good play from McLean.
Second half and Moussa was on for Cammy Kerr and soon after the game was over as a contest another poor goal seen Alston score after Parrish saved the first effort from Kane. Minutes later it was 4-0 as Kane fired home to complete a poor day for the dark blues.
With the next four games against Aberdeen (H), Hearts (H) and Celtic and Rangers (Away) it looks a tough run in to the split. Lets hope Ross County and Partick Thistle struggle to pick up points or we are in big trouble.
Dundee: Parrish, Kerr, Parish, Kerr (Moussa 45), Caulker, Meekings, Aurtenetxe, Curran, Spence (Piggott 18), O’Hara, Deacon, Leitch-Smith, Murray (El Bakhtaoui 65). Subs Unused: Malherbe, Kusunga, O’Dea, Lambert
