HALF WAHEY

DUNDEE UNITED climbed back into the top six with an emphatic victory at basement side Livingston.

- 

Zac Sapsford’ 33rd-minute strike was all the visitors had to show for a dominant opening period.

But they made sure they collected only a fifth league win of the season with a late Ryan McGowan own goal and Amar Fatah's strike before Connor McLennan added an injury-time consolation.

It would have been a travesty had Jim Goodwin's side not won this game after being on top from literally the first minute.

It was an all-too-familiar feeling for the Lions fans, who booed their team off, with the change and the newcomers were immediately involved as they chased an unlikely leveller.

Robbie Muirhead’s shot from 18 yards was stopped by Dave Richards before the United keeper got back up to keep out McLennan’s shot on the rebound.

United got the breathing space they needed when McGowan scored an unlucky own goal in 86 minutes.

Prior's attempt to keep out a Cleall-Harding effort on the line came back off the defender’s face and rolled in.
