Dundee and Dunfermline Athletic served up a six goal thriller at Dens Park on Saturday when they drew 3-3.
Dundee’s only change from the team that drew in Inverness was Osman Sow starting instead of Alex Jakubiak.
Dundee started well well and Danny Mullen had two good efforts at goal as they pegged the Pars on the back foot. Charlie Adam also had a shot saved from 20 yards.
Dundee opened the scoring when a great flowing move was finished by Charlie Adam who fired a shot from 35 yards which gave the Dunfermline Ath keeper no chance.
Into the second half and Dundee made it two nil when Osman Sow headed home from 8 yards within the five minutes. The cross came from Charlie Adam.
Dundee made it three nil on 70 minutes when Liam Fontaine took Charlie Adam’s corner on the volley to score from 12 yards. Adam, who was injured, was then replaced by Max Anderson after an excellent performance.
That should have finished the game but the pars got a lifeline when Watson headed home, with nine minutes to go and McManus was fouled in the box, he scored from the the spot to make it 3-2.
Sadly for Dundee McManus then scored in injury time when he fired home a superb free kick to give Dunfermline Athletic a vital point.
For Dundee it will feel like a defeat and maybe too many changes for the team, with Charlie Adam going off injured likely changed the game.
