Decisive figure hauls Aberdeen level and leads the response | OneFootball

Jesper Karlsson equalised in the 60th minute with a close-range finish, as Aberdeen drew 1-1 with Dundee United. The strike turned sustained pressure into a point for the hosts.

Arriving from the left half-space, Karlsson lifted his effort into the roof of the net (60.). It was the moment his persistent threat finally told against a compact United back line.

From there he kept the visitors penned in, repeatedly receiving between the lines and committing defenders. His movement dragged markers around and opened lanes for the Dons to keep attacks flowing.

He finished with four attempts, two on target, plus five touches in the box. Add 22 successful passes in the final third and it underlined how he connected attacks and kept the tempo high for the Dons.

With the Dons controlling 72.0% possession, Karlsson's positioning and quick combinations ensured the Arabs were rarely able to break out with any rhythm.

The Dons visit Hibernian next. United head to Livingston.
