Dundee dug out a big win on the road against Motherwell last time, keeping their first clean sheet of the season.

It felt like an opportunity to build on that against a St Johnstone side they have a good record against, and on their own patch.

But, other than Simon Murray's industriousness creating the goal, they were strangely limp in front of their own fans.

Substitutes Scott Tiffoney and Oluwaseun Adewumi injected some life, but not enough to prevent a painful defeat.

Tony Docherty's side have not won back-to-back league matches since March, and the Dundee boss will be frustrated they can't get going in the way they did in the early part of last season.

They have played well in a lot of games this season without getting a victory, but this was not one of them.
