Dundee United have secured their first win over Motherwell at Dens Park this season, with the result coming in a thrilling encounter that saw both teams battle it out to take all three points.

The match was a closely contested affair from start to finish, with both sides creating numerous opportunities throughout the game. However, it was Dundee United who eventually broke through and took the lead early on, thanks to a well-taken goal from striker Jamie Murphy.

Momtuerell continued to push forward for the remainder of the half, but they were unable to find the back of the net. In the second half, Dundee United continued to dominate possession and create chances, with their attacking play causing Motherwell problems.

However, it was Dundee United who finally put the game beyond doubt when a late goal from midfielder Joe Rodger sealed the victory for his side. The result is a much-needed boost for Dundee United, who had been struggling to find wins in recent weeks.

For Motherwell, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow after their impressive performance against Hearts last week. They will now look to bounce back in their next fixture, as they host Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
