A dramatic goal from James McPake four minutes into stoppage time grabbed a draw for Dundee in an incredible derby at Tannadice.
Dundee United seemed to have it all sewn up thanks to a brilliant double from youngster Blair Spittal.
However, it was the away fans who were doing the celebrating at full-time as, with almost the final kick of the ball, McPake raced in to score after home goalie Luis Zwick had failed to hold a low shot from Gary Harkins from outside the area.
With Dundee having had the better of the first half, it was all change after the break as the Tangerines appeared to take command.
Spittal slid home the first goal involving some fancy footwork – on 65 minutes then stunned the Dark Blues with a second just a couple of minutes later.Click here for a full photo gallery.

Then, with the home supporters whistling for the whistle, in came McPake to level in the most dramatic of fashions and sicken United, who must have felt like they had been beaten.
