Both teams started a bit slow and scrappy and it United who got the vital first goal, Dundee gave the ball away and when it was put high into our box Lawlor went for the high ball and was never getting close to it. It was knocked on and gave Clark a simple header to score for the home side.
Dundee came back and Danny Mullen miskicked the ball from a few feet from a certain goal, but it went into the arms of the home keeper. Both teams tried to get goals but the final balls were not good enough.
In the second half Niall McGinn replaced Paul McGowan as Dundee looked to get back into the match, but soon after it was 2-0 United. A free kick was given and Mulgrew curled the ball home when likely a cross was expected.
Dundee came back and on 59 minutes it was 2-1 when after a great run from Cammy Kerr his cross was headed home by Danny Mullen. It again gave the Dundee fans a big lift. It was no surprize two minutes later it was 2-2. A good move and the ball was played to Charlie Adam and he scored from 30 yards out to set up a great finish to this game.
United missed two chances and put the ball over the bar from eight yards when really should have scored. The best two chances Dundee had when McGinn hit the bar with a dipping shot, and in injury time Sweeney headed over the bar.
Dundee deserved a win today but maybe it was right to be a draw, it was happier Dundee fans after the game.
