Dundee United secured their first win in the Scottish Championship with a 1-0 home victory over Motherwell on Saturday.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances throughout the game. However, it was Dundee United who took the lead early in the second half when Ryan Kent fired home from close range following a corner.
Motherwell struggled to find an equaliser and were unable to create any clear-cut opportunities in the final stages of the match. The visitors had several chances to level the score, but could not find the back of the net.
The win is a much-needed boost for Dundee United, who have struggled to find form this season. The result sees them move up to fifth place in the table, just two points behind leaders Rangers.
Manager Jim McLean will be pleased with his side's performance against a strong Motherwell team. The victory also marks a return to winning ways for Dundee United after losing three consecutive matches.
It was a well-deserved victory for Dundee United, who showed great composure and determination to secure all three points. They now face another tough challenge next weekend as they travel to face Hearts at Tynecastle.
