Standout forward ignites Dundee with rapid double against Livingston | OneFootball

Simon Murray opened the scoring in the third minute with a close-range finish, his early brace shaping Dundee's 2-2 draw with Livingston.

The forward first pounced with a right-footed strike from the left of the six-yard box, then quickly doubled the lead with a glancing header from a Cameron Congreve cross (5.). The movement across the near post gave him separation and turned pressure into chances.

Murray kept offering an outlet, flashing a right-footed attempt high and wide from the right side of the box (24.). He then saw a close-range effort blocked (40.). Another drive from a tight angle was also smothered (58.).

He finished with five attempts, two on target and seven touches in the box, underlining how he led the line and stayed central to Dundee's threat.

With Dundee slinging in repeated deliveries from wide areas, his early runs matched the service and forced Livingston's back line to defend facing their own goal.

Dundee visit Aberdeen next. Livingston host Rangers next.
