Paul McMullan had a good shot blocked and Lyall Cameron had a shot which hit a defenders and the ball went across the goal with pace. Cove attacked for a wee spell but never troubled the Dundee defence.
Dundee stepped up a gear and Scott Fox had to make two good saves McGhee's header looked a goal all the way. Fox saved again from Cameron who had a decent effort on goal.
The Dark Blues took the lead in first half injury time. McGhee went for Hannant’s cross, couldn’t win in but stopped the defence clearing. Lyall Cameron picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area and his shot took a deflection to loop over Fox and into th net.
Second half and Cove started well and had a good go, but after that Dundee got the vital second goal a slick move invoving McMullan who found Williamson who's low cross into the box found Lee Ashcroft who smashed the ball home to the delight of the Dundee fans.
After this Dundee took control and had a few chances to get a third goal, they also put on subs when Jordan Marshall, Josh Mulligan and Alex Jakubiak for Ryan Clampin, Lyall Cameron and Zach Robinson.
Luke McCowan and Max Anderson came on for the last 10 minutes, adding fresh energy to the Dee. Anderson burst through the middle and fed Jakubiak who cut inside to shoot, but Fox saved well.
They saw the game out for three vital points in this tight league, it was a good day for myself for my first visit to this ground.
