Match in Five Sentences: Dundee Utd beat Celtic 2-1 at Tannadice. Daizen Maeda put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute with a left-footed finish to the bottom right. After the restart, Krisztián Keresztes levelled from a corner (58.), and Zachary Sapsford completed the turnaround moments later (61.). The Bhoys dominated the ball with 73.9% possession but produced only two shots on target from 17 attempts. The Arabs host Hibernian next, while the Hoops welcome Aberdeen.
Player of the Match: Amar Fatah drove The Arabs' comeback, supplying the decisive assist and leading United with four key passes and seven touches in the box.
Stat of the Match: Kasper Schmeichel produced five saves, keeping the Hoops in contention despite the turnaround.
Three Things We Learned: Set pieces swung it for United, with the equaliser arriving from a corner and the winner following another corner sequence. The Bhoys' control did not translate into threat, as they finished with 73.9% possession but only two shots on target compared with United's seven. Vicko Sevelj's introduction at half-time mattered, adding one assist plus four tackles and six clearances as United tightened up and gained territory.
