Aberdeen continued their poor run of form, when they were defeated 3-0 by Dundee
Utd at Tannadice. To rub even more salt in the wounds, ex-Don Billy Dodds grabbed
one of the three goals. Dundee United almost opened the scorers when Jason De
Vos had a goal dissallowed
for offside.
However, that was about the height of the Dons luck in the game, and 15 minutes
later it was no surprise when Kjell Ollafson opened the scoring for the home
side. Jim Leighton will look back on the goal, and perhaps feel that he could
have done better.
Dons youngster Dennis Wyness did however provide a positive side to the game
for the Dons. He was Aberdeen's only threat during a frustrating 90 minutes.
He brought out one of the saves of the season from Sieb Dykstra in the United
goal, when Dykstra amazingly kept it out of the goalmouth. The score remained
1-0 at the break, but it took only 3 minutes of the second half for Billy Dodds
to strike against his old club. The cross came across,
and Dodds managed to find himself with a free header to make it 2-0.
66 minutes gone, and David Hannah scored his first for the club on his return
from Celtic, to make it 3-0 and well out of Aberdeen's reach. New loan signing
from Man Utd, Alex Notman came on with 7 minutes remaining, but it was too
little, too late for anyone to make a serious outcome of this
game, and the Dons were well beaten.
Final score, Aberdeen 0-3 Dundee Utd
