Dundee began positively and did all the early attacking. The opening goal after eight minutes was well deserved. Osman Sow tried to flick Jordan Marshall’s cross past Thomas O’Brien. The central defender stuck his arm out, made contact with the ball, and Charlie Adam smashed the penalty past Derek Gaston.
Dundee had most of the first half, and Danny Mullen should have made it 2-0 but hit the bar when really he should have scored. Osman Sow was unlucky with a shot near half-time but Gaston saved well to deny the big Dundee striker.
Second half and for some reason Dundee struggled to get going , they had lost McGhee early on due to injury , then Mullen when off. Early doors second half and Fontaine had to go off injured this seemed to stop Dundee playing flowing football.
Arbroath came into it and levelled when Little headed home from eight yard, a superb headed goal. Poor for Dundee as it was a free header in the box. Arbroath were the better side until injury time when good play from Adam set up Sow but he was too weak and the Arbroath defence cleared a certain goal.
Two points dropped for the dark blues and here's hoping Hearts and Dunfermline drop points tomorrow. A fair result and Arbroath deserved a point they kept their shape well and went for it in the second half.
