04:58Forrest.
05:05That's the edge of the box.
05:07And there's Riley.
05:10Well United have done the vast majority of the pressing early on in this game.
05:15on the tail
05:16find Riley, decided to try and find that
05:19top right corner
05:21couldn't resist
05:24and there is Simon Murray
05:26who's on club TV duties
05:30and that's rather be out there
05:32on the grass
05:38Forrest
05:40Wesley
05:42has to go himself
05:43oh and it's a fantastic
05:45hit two
05:48which got a touch
05:50whistle by Jack Walton
05:53and it will be
05:54Mehdi Mergem to take
06:00and it's a head and a goal
06:01and
06:03Chevy
06:04who draws the save from Goodman
06:07as close as United have gone so far
06:10Mergem tries to put it back in
06:12to the mixer
06:16and that looping header from
06:17Vicco Chevy
06:19looked as though it might be
06:20creeping under the bar
06:22and Goodman had to deal with it
06:25and deal with it he did
06:30No ticket, no problem
06:32No ticket, no problem
06:34Yoro's on loan from Istanbul
06:36Basakshihir
06:38and the new arrivals
06:45Chevy back to Nergen
06:47Chevy back to Nergen
06:49and the new arrivals
06:58Chevy back to Nergen
07:03looking to try and arch that round
07:05into that far corner
07:08on the left
07:09Jesse Randall today
07:11playing on the right
07:12and Sapsford's been in the team
07:18Tate
07:20and again
07:23as well
07:24and the give and go is beautiful
07:27and Sopo couldn't force it home
07:32brilliantly defended over Ryan Astley
07:35fantastic central defensive play
07:39brilliant between Mergem and Chevy
07:41to set up the opportunity
07:46Jesse Randall
07:480-3 for New Zealand
07:49the World Cup
07:50gets the corner in
07:52it's a second chance out there
07:56and again
07:57on his right side
07:58and it's into the shed
08:03once he got it onto his right foot
08:05I suspected he was going to go for a goal himself there
08:09everything spectacular from the Algerian
08:18this look over the top
08:21more than Tangerine for Mitsoko
08:23and Ethan Hamilton's onto it instead
08:26here he goes
08:30fine run by the Dundee skipper
08:34that's what Devon's been
08:35well looked after by Will Ferri
08:39that's what you want from your
08:40central midfield player
08:45Dundee's turn
08:50there's a big appeal for a penalty there
08:53for a push
08:56Dickinson's not interested
08:57it's Wiley's ball across
09:00Dundee of defenders out of position
09:04Europa United
09:05dreadful ball
09:06straight to three right
09:10Zyce to go himself
09:12an absolutely wonderful
09:23Derby opening goal
09:25scored by Dreywright
09:33who opens his season tally
09:37at Tannerice in the Derby
09:40at Tannerice in the Derby
09:43and this had quality written all over it
09:51and it all stems from Euro's loose ball
09:55you can see Jim Goodwin with his head in his hands
09:57and Dreywright steps up spectacularly
10:03right in front of those United fans
10:05down the slope in the Eddie Thompson stand
10:10just look at that
10:13a hammer
10:19we're going to look for a second here
10:28in from Astley
10:30late by Ferri
10:35here fell by Yoro
10:39inauspicious end to the first half
10:40for
10:42Abdoulaye Yoro
10:43from Astangul Basakshi here on loan
10:48United have been losing
10:50recently in the Gloucester in the last two games
10:52have been at times criminal
10:54it comes into that category
10:56despite the quality of the finish
10:58brought us back
10:59for Hamilton
11:00now Finnegan
11:02Gunby smell blood here all of a sudden
11:04Finnegan goes down
11:05and the D have a free kick
11:06on the edge of the United box
11:08it's Yoro again
11:13he's going to get a yellow here
11:14by the looks of things
11:18it could get worse for him
11:24temper spilling over
11:25right at the last knock-ins in the first half
11:35Yoro carded
11:38it's great play by Finnegan
11:42Yoro's claiming it's not even a foul
11:47we're having a look here
11:48for possible mistaken identity
11:50by all accounts
11:53David Dickinson saw a foul in that
11:57and he's going to come over
11:58and have a look at it
12:00what you might see here is
12:03minimal of any contact
12:04and it may be that
12:05it's more the
12:06touching the ball by Finnegan
12:08that
12:09forced him to the ground
12:13you can see there
12:14we've got a little bit in the ball as well
12:16Yoro
12:24so
12:26the yellow card
12:28is rescinded
12:32and is subsequently
12:35dished out to Finnegan
12:36well he looks as perplexed as
12:38just about everyone else I think
12:39I don't think you can accuse Ryan Finnegan
12:42of diving there
12:43why he's been given a yellow
12:45is something that
12:47everyone's going to be left to ponder
12:48as the half-time whistle goes
12:52Dundee annoyed right at the end
12:53but
12:54look at the scoreboard
12:56Stephen Presley
12:57and his team
12:58will be delighted
12:59because Dre Wright's
13:00pile driver
13:02has given
13:02the blue half of the city
13:05the lead at the interval
13:07and Jim Goodwin
13:08has plenty more to ponder
13:09half-time at Tanadice Park
13:12is United 0
13:14Dundee 1
13:23one back by Forrest
13:30Camara
13:33some good backtracking there
13:35as Tate gets it to Chevy
13:40Tate across
13:41opportunity here for redemption
13:43but
13:43the auto shot saved
13:46he'd have been desperate for that
13:48to find the net
13:52it was error led to the Dundee goal
13:55right start for United
13:57shooting down the hill
13:58as they tend to do
13:58in the second half of games here
14:00here's Benny
14:03come on
14:04for Randall
14:05at the interval for United
14:07Berry
14:08for the cross
14:09Mergem is waiting
14:11and then it's lashed high
14:12into the stand
14:13by Esselnk
14:18there's another
14:20scream for a penalty
14:21and amongst all that
14:24this was Yoro's chance
14:26couldn't have done much more
14:40it's good control
14:41Yoro
14:42he's on a mission
14:44even though the payoff
14:45as well
14:46it's holds him off
15:01for the Dundee goalie
15:10there will be something
15:11that's come from the stand
15:12behind him
15:22there's clearly something
15:25like some pleasant viewing
15:36Goodwin does have Alexis
15:38Sapsford and Rose on his bench
15:39he's got Benny on for the second half
15:44there's another car coming here
15:48there's Benny
15:51from Queens Park Rangers
15:53I don't think he can have too many complaints
16:05no panic
16:07stations
16:10he's like
16:11behind by the corner
16:12he wasn't sure what was going on
16:14around about him
16:22Ben Robertson to take
16:25the fixture that means so much
16:27to him personally as well
16:29he's a big Dundee supporter
16:31the academy graduate
16:33as he swings the corner in
16:36Owen Bevan got something on to it
16:41he's happy to
16:43pick a corner on the other side
16:48Wesley et al wait
16:56deep one
16:58as the car at Pooley jersey
16:59got in the
17:00initial touch
17:01and Alan Forrest
17:04with a touch on his way in
17:06doubles the Dundee lead
17:08at the shed end
17:09at Tanner Ice
17:20dark blue
17:21delight in the derby
17:26well it's definitely
17:27come off Owen Bevan
17:28on its way in
17:30after Forrest hit it
17:34the Dundee supporters
17:35don't mind how it got there
17:37just that it did
17:45and United are in all sorts of trouble now
17:52well needed the touch
17:53by the look of that replay
18:12Wesley
18:13he's got the cross in as well
18:19Wesley tried to
18:21poke it home
18:22and then a really important block
18:24to deny Hamilton
18:25and Walton holds on
18:27for dear life
18:31good build-up play
18:32by Dundee
18:36they've been threatening
18:37every time they've come forward
18:39in the second half
18:52Camara's got it into his stride
18:54he's got options right and left
18:55uses Zach Sapsford
18:56United need something back
18:58they're not getting it here
19:01and you can tell
19:02by the look in their faces
19:03that they probably should
19:04have got something back there
19:08Camara's done well to bustle forward
19:09you can see Rose to his left
19:11Sapsford to the right
19:12the chance
19:14came and went
19:16no damage
19:17to Goodman's goal
19:28Sapsford with a flick
19:29here's Lachlan Rose
19:29trying to get in behind
19:31wide
19:35two opportunities
19:36in the space of a minute
19:37for United
19:41Rose will be annoyed
19:43he's not at the very least
19:44got this on target
19:56Rose
19:58what have United
20:00got left
20:03Carruccia hits it
20:04in a decent effort as well
20:08Peter so wide
20:12near post
20:13as he tried to catch
20:14Goodman out
20:15form
20:16ripped apart
20:17by Celtic
20:18and
20:18their neighbours
20:19seemingly
20:21Chevy's cross
20:25going to be a corner only
20:27it's going to try to get
20:28the end of that
20:34minute
20:3590
20:35at
20:36Tanadice
20:49Goodman punches
20:55wide
20:55but it was worth the hit
20:56by Benny
20:59ripples the side net
21:00but
21:01it's looking like a lost
21:03cause for United
21:04now
21:15it's going to be a
21:20it's going to be a
21:21but it's going to be a
21:22but it's going to be a
21:28evening
21:30Malone at Hips a few years ago
21:32Ludo and Bevan
21:35Ferry pulls it in
21:37again, Goodman's made a mess of that
21:39Carrugia back in
21:41and a chance to pull one back
21:43Sapsford's effort's blocked though
21:45there is no way
21:47through
21:49for United
21:53corner comes in again
21:56Chevy picks it up
21:59and to the delight of the Dundee
22:01fans who watch that behind them
22:05it goes past
22:06and United's hopes
22:08of salvaging something out of this
22:11appear to have gone
22:13with it
22:17the United fans disappear
22:19off into the distance
22:38every single Derby success is memorable
22:42Dundee have found some real form at Tannadice Park
22:45in recent times
22:48lost on their last visit but
22:51from the previous two
22:54found a way to win games here
22:56gone so long without
22:57albeit not always in the same division
22:58and it is Dundee's day
23:07Steven Presley was appointed just over a year ago
23:11he knew he was going to have to try and win over the D supporters
23:14given his previous time here at Tannadice
23:20he's just come to Tannadice and won again
23:24for the second time as Dundee manager
23:26and Jim Goodwin has plenty to think about
23:29three successive defeats
23:31a goal in each half
23:33Dre Wright with a Derby classic
23:36not long before the interval
23:39then Alan Forrest's shot
23:41took a touch off Owen Bevan to make it two
23:47and Dundee United
23:49have to try and work out a way
23:52of scoring goals again
23:54let alone winning games again
23:58they've finished at Tannadice
24:00with Dundee moving joint top
24:02of the Premiership
24:05United 0
24:06Dundee 2
24:09well what I would say is that
24:11we obviously came here with a game plan
24:13and
24:15we didn't carry out any part of it
24:17to be perfectly honest
24:18you know the tactical detail that we worked towards
24:21wasn't particularly evident within our performance
24:24but what was very apparent in our performance
24:26was just the energy of the group
24:28the determination of the group
24:30they never say die
24:31that grit and determination
24:33that your supporters are generally so proud of
24:37so from that perspective
24:39immensely proud of this group of players
24:42but from what we set out to do
24:44no
24:45but
24:47I think that that shows the power of a unified group
24:50and I think it also highlights the fact
24:53that Derby games are never one on the tactical detail
24:56they're one on the spirit and determination of your group
24:58and we showed that in abundance today
25:00well another disappointing result obviously Tyrone
25:05you know I can stand here and talk about
25:06all the key metrics that we
25:08that we look back on when we analyse the games
25:10in terms of
25:11you know possession
25:12and
25:13attempts on goal
25:14and dangerous attacks
25:15and touches in the penalty area
25:16the opposition
25:18you know
25:19the main stat that matters most is of course
25:21that scoreline and I've been in the game long enough
25:23to understand that
25:25you know today
25:26I thought we started the game really brightly
25:29you know we make a mistake in the middle of the pitch
25:31turning over possession
25:32the reaction is poor after that
25:34and you know
25:35Dre Wright hits
25:36an incredible strike from 35 yards
25:40still very much in the game
25:41and obviously the
25:42you know the start to the second half
25:43I felt we had a lot of momentum
25:44but then we get
25:45you know done with the sucker punch from the corner
25:47it doesn't seem like anything is going our way at the moment
25:49it's
25:50you know
25:51kind of a fluffed shot
25:52takes a deflection
25:53Dundee players lying on the
25:55on the floor
25:55and it hits them and goes in the bottom corner
25:57so
25:57you know
25:59I believe in this group of players Tyrone
26:01I really do
26:01I think the recruitment has been excellent
26:03I think
26:04you know
26:05some of the performances
26:06have been good
26:07but the results haven't reflected that
26:08but of course today
26:10it's a
26:11very emotional occasion
26:12because we know how much it means to our supporters
26:14and unfortunately today
26:15we weren't able to get them the result
26:17that they were desperate for
26:18Drake congratulations
26:19probably through your goal
26:20I mean
26:21have you scored any sweeter ones than that?
26:24Maybe not as meaningful
26:25but
26:26I've scored similar
26:27similar before
26:28I'd won a few years back against Celtic
26:29but like I say
26:31not as
26:31not as meaningful
26:32but
26:32no
26:33the space kind of opened up
26:35and I just thought
26:36yeah why not
26:36and
26:37I think one of those
26:37as soon as you kind of hit it
26:39it had a chance
26:39and
26:40yeah
26:41it flew in
26:41so I'll take that
26:42Regardless of the
26:44the two wins
26:44I think what's most pleasing is
26:46that
26:47the three games
26:48have been exceptionally difficult games
26:50you know
26:50Celtic at Celtic Park
26:52where we performed
26:53very well
26:54Aberdeen
26:55who have invested heavily
26:56have brought a lot of good players
26:58into the group
26:59and of course
26:59Dundee United here
27:00which is three really
27:02really difficult games
27:03for ourselves
27:04especially as we transition
27:05from one team to another
27:07but
27:09you know
27:09there's a spirit about us
27:11there's a togetherness about us
27:12just now
27:13that is
27:15is serving us well
27:17and
27:17you know
27:18we have to
27:18we have to remember
27:19we're only three games into
27:21but I do know this
27:23that a derby game
27:24is very important
27:25for the momentum
27:26and very important
27:27for the feel good factor
27:28and very important
27:28for your supporters
27:29so
27:31I'm a very proud
27:32manager tonight
27:33so that superb win
27:35for Dundee
27:36has taken them
27:37on to six points
27:39so they
27:40along with Celtic
27:41and St Mirren
27:42are at the summit
27:42of the embryonic
27:43premiership table
27:44for Dundee United
27:45though
27:46after three games
27:47they sit
27:48second bottom
27:49with only Kilmarnock
