Dundee started on the attack but failed to create anything clear and it Livingston who struck first on six minutes. Poor defending let a strong cross which Lawlor parried and Anderson had a easy tap in to score. Dundee did attack in the next ten minutes with Rossi having a shot blocked after being set up by Cammy Kerr.
When Livingston attacked and put crosses in Dundee were struggling to cope and on 18 minutes it was 2-0. More poor marking and Pittman scored from a few yards out. Two minutes later and it 3-0 another poor goal to lose a long free kick and a low cross fell to Anderson in the box and he scored with ease.
Dundee sent on Paul McMullen for Zeno Ibsen Rossi as Dundee changed to 4-4-2 to try and get back into the game before half-time. Sadly they failed and were still struggling to attack that would lead to a fightback.
Second half and Dundee made two changes Charlie Adam and Niall McGinn came on for Shaun Byrne and Josh Mulligan. But Livingston looked like they would score again. They did but it was ruled offside. Dundee had a few attacks but never tested the Livi goalkeeper.
Again Livingston came close with two efforts just going wide, but on 65 minutes it 4-0 a simple low cross found Fitzwater scored with a well placed shot across Lawlor. As the game went on it looked like Livingston would score more, Dundee were second to best all over the pitch and fully deserved to lose this game.
The final whistle went with sadly a lot of Dundee fans had left due to the game they had just watched.
