First Team
EVERY WORD | JACK WALTON LOOKS AHEAD TO IBROX TEST
21st November 2024
Dundee United kicked off 2024 with their third victory of the season over Arbroath.
The deadlock in a closely contested first half was finally broken by Louis Moult just eight minutes before the interval, as the United frontman grabbed his first goal since October.
A fabulous team effort involving no fewer than four players in quick succession, Moult was on hand to apply the finishing touch from point-blank range after being teed up by strike-partner Tony Watt.
It would take less than 150 seconds after the restart for the Terrors to double their advantage.
Turning defence into attack in the blink of an eye once more, Kevin Holt's raking pass picked out the darting run of Glenn Middleton on the burst into the Arbroath half.
Winning a footrace with onrushing Derek Gaston, the 24-year-old sent a perfectly executed dink over the Red Lichties stopper from just inside the area to give his side breathing space.
And on the 53-minute mark, Jim Goodwin’s side wrapped up the cinch Championship points thanks to another Moult effort.
Kai Fotheringham’s deflected cross from the right took a bounce which deceived Arbroath defender Colin Hamilton, leaving Moult with another simple finish as he nodded home number three.
Our number nine is now into double figures for the 2023/24 campaign in all competitions.
