Pittodrie yet again proved a happy hunting ground for United and the winning margin could easily have been greater. After starting off in fine fashion Aberdeen surprisingly had the best early opportunity to score when Frank McDougall was adjudged to have been tripped by Richard Gough in the box.

That lead should have been extended in the 72nd minute but Alex Taylor knocked John Holt's fine cross just wide of the far post.
