LATE GOAL SINKS TANGERINES

26th April 2003

United suffered yet another home defeat as they conceded a 90th minute winning goal to visitors Hibernian. Ahead at the interval through a David McCracken drive, United looked to be reasonably comfortable however a penalty netted by McManus early in the second half brought Bobby Williamson's side level. United still looked the better side in the second period but could not convert their outfield play into a goal and with the match almost over, a mix-up in the home defence allowed Ian Murray to score and secure the three points for the Easter Road side.

This was the Tangerines' fourth consecutive defeat, United not having collected a single league point since their 1-1 draw against today's opponents in early March.

UNITED: GALLACHER, GRIFFIN, MILLER
