5 Feb
Summary
- Dundee United collapsed late, conceding two goals in four minutes.
- Manager Jim Goodwin called the team's late capitulation "embarrassing".
- The loss leaves Dundee United facing an uphill battle for the top six.
Dundee United suffered a dramatic late collapse against Hibernian, losing 3-2 after conceding two goals in the final minutes of the match. Manager Jim Goodwin described the team's capitulation as "embarrassing" and "anger-inducing," highlighting a recurring issue of dropping points from winning positions.
Despite playing arguably their best football in weeks, Dundee United's defensive frailties were exposed. Hibernian scored three goals from three shots on target, including an 89th-minute equalizer by Elie Youan and a stoppage-time winner from debutant Ante Suto. This result significantly hampers Dundee United's chances of securing a top-six finish in the Premiership.
Hibernian head coach David Gray praised the impact of his new signings, particularly Suto, who marked his debut with the winning goal. Gray acknowledged that his team is still developing but expressed delight in finding a way to win even when not at their best, looking forward to further integration of the new players.
