Dundee 1, Motherwell 3, Dens Park, Ladbrokes Premiership, 01-September-18

Dundee faced Motherwell in the league on Saturday, the dark Blues made four changes. Kenny Miller made his debut with Kusunga replacing Caulker, Kerr and Spence came in for the injured Kamara and Ralph.

Both teams started okay with Dundee trying to attack on the break, Motherwell are a big strong side and had a few chances in the first half. Half-time it ended 0-0.

Ryan Innis came on for the injured Josh Meekings, but a defensive slip let Motherwell take the lead on 57 minutes, Neil McCann replaced Nabi with Calvin Miller. Soon after a sloppy foul an Bigirimana's free kick beat Dee keeper Hamilton at his post to put the steel men 2-0 up. Elton Ngwatala came on for Kharl Madianga. 

Dundee did pull on back on 71 minutes when Benjamin Kallman headed home a great cross from Calvin Miller. For the next 10 minutes Dundee pushed forward but were unlucky not to level things up. But with 5 minutes to go Campbell sealed the game for The Well when after another defensive mistake he smashed the ball home.
