Dundee United secure first win against Motherwell, with Dan Hargreaves making the decisive goal.

Dundee United have secured their first victory of the season after a hard-fought battle against Motherwell at Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors had been in dominant form up until this point, having won four of their opening six matches and only lost one. However, they were faced with a stern test as Dundee United put up a valiant fight to take the lead.

After a few early chances fell to both teams, it was Dundee United who took the lead through Dan Hargreaves in the 25th minute. The midfielder showed great composure to slot home from close range, giving his side the advantage.

Motherwell responded well to this setback, however, and began to create some good opportunities of their own. However, they could not find the back of the net and were left to rue missed chances.

Despite being behind for most of the game, Dundee United refused to give up and continued to press forward. And finally, in the 77th minute, they found themselves level thanks to another fine piece of individual skill from Hargreaves.

He played a brilliant ball over the top to free up Jordan Jones, who then calmly slotted home to restore parity. It was a much-needed goal for Dundee United, who had been under pressure throughout the match.

With the score level, the game entered extra time but neither team could find a winner. In the end, it was Dundee United who came out on top and secured their first victory of the season.

It's been a tough start to the season for Dundee United, but this win is a big boost for them and will give them confidence heading into the second half of the campaign. They'll now look to build on this result and continue to push towards the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
