Dundee 2, St Johnstone 1, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 21-April-18

Dundee Manager Neil McCann made three changes Cammy Kerr, Paul McGowan and Craig Wighton came in for Lewis Spence who was on the bench and Roarie Deacon and Josh Meekings who were out injured. 

Dundee got off to a perfect start scoring inside the first  minutes a Holt free kick was sent goalwards by O'Hara and hit the post went along the line and Sofien Moussa was on hand to tap in to give the Dark Blues the lead. It was just the start the Dundee fans wanted and they got behind the team.

St Johnstone came back strongly and Parish had to make a couple of saves as the Perth Saints looked strong in midfield. As the first half came to a close Dundee came close twice with Wighton and Kamara both had good efforts which just went wide of the goal.

Craig Wighton again was unlucky early in the second half when good play he was denied by the Saints keeper, then he saved well from a Simon Murray pile driver. Saints came close when Miller hit the bar. Moments later Murray was again denied by Clark in the Saints goal this time diving full stretch to push the shot behind the game.

With only five minutes to go Saints scored when MacClean scored from around eight yards out , it a sloppy goal to lose. But three minutes late Dens went wild when Cammy Kerr's high cross was headed home superbly by Sofien Moussa. 

With three minutes stoppage time to go the crowd got  right behind the team to see out the time and seal three massive points for the Dark Blues. It was not a great game to watch but the players all dug in to get the result.

I was pleased for Sofien Moussa who has worked his socks off for the last few games and deserves his goals today. It was also great to see Craig Wighton back after being out injured for nearly a year,  and the young striker had a great game.
