Decisive figure powers Dundee Utd in the derby | OneFootball

Will Ferry opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a close-range finish, setting Dundee Utd on course for a 3-0 win over Dundee.

The Ireland midfielder pounced to turn in from inside the six-yard area after sustained pressure (14.), giving United early control of the contest.

After the restart he doubled the advantage with a left-footer from outside the box to the bottom right (70.), finishing after Vicko Sevelj found him in space.

Two minutes later, he delivered the cross that Ryan Strain nodded home from the centre of the box (72.), sealing the outcome and capping a dominant spell.

Ferry finished with three attempts, two on target, three key passes and two accurate crosses from five. The Arabs' left-sided outlet repeatedly forced Dundee back and provided the game's cutting edge.

United visit Kilmarnock next, while Dundee host St Mirren.
