Dundee were unchanged teamwise for the the visit of Hamilton Accies to Dens Park for this important league game.
They got off to the perfect start scoring on seven minutes when Jordan Marshall combined sweetly with Luke Hannant before whipping an inviting low cross through the goalmouth. It took a slight deflection en route to the far post where Alex Jakubiak gleefully turned in the opening goal.
They attacked in the next 10 minutes and it was no surprize when Ryan Sweeney scored with a header from a Luke Hannant corner. Dundee were disrupted when they lost Zach Robinson to a nasty head knock. This was the low point of a wonderful afternoon. Robinson had been excellent partnering Jakubiak but Dundee hardly missed him when Paul McMullan came on to replace him.
Dundee still attacked after a flat spell and scored twice brfore half-time first when McCowan sent Josh Mulligan away down the right. Mulligan fired a fierce low cross into the goalmouth and Lyall Cameron did what he does so well timing his arrival perfectly to shoot home.
Deep into first half injury time Marshall’s pass from the left on the half way line found Luke McCowan sneaking in behind the Accies centre backs. He calmly poked his shot through the keeper’s legs for number four.
Second half and Accies made more changes to their team that's four in total, it made little difference as Dundee looked dangerous on every attack.
Fulton made a couple of good saves but Dundee made it 5-0 when Lyall Cameron took a pass from Luke McCowan and scored with ease.
Just four minutes later Cameron had his hat-trick. He made a lovely skillful run through the midfield and passed out to Hannant on the left. The winger chipped over a fine cross for Lyall Cameron to send a header looping over the keeper for number six.
Dundee made four changes when Sam Fisher, Shaun Byrne, Finlay Robertson and Kwame Thomas came on for Josh Mulligan, Alex Jakubiak, Luke Hannant and Lyall Cameron and they received a deserved standing ovation as they left the field.
It payed off a minute later when Kwame Thomas headed home for his first goal for the club from a McMullan cross and goal number 7.
Dundee could have scored more and on the day they were first class on every thing they done. It was Dundee's biggest league win since beating East Fife 7-1 in 1996.
