Dundee United secured an impressive 3-1 victory over St Mirren in a Scottish Premiership clash at Tannadice Park. The visitors, St Mirren, started strongly and took the lead through Dan Nlundulu, who netted his first goal for the club. However, the hosts equalized just before halftime with a free-kick from Zak Sapsford.

In the second half, Dundee United went ahead with a penalty converted by Amar Fatah after Alex Gogic was sent off with a red card. Craig Sibbald added a third goal late in the match to seal the victory for the home side. This win propelled Dundee United to third place in the standings, while St Mirren dropped to ninth after suffering their third consecutive defeat.

United's manager made three changes to the lineup following last week's draw with Rangers, bringing in Panutche Camara, Nikolay Moller, and Yury Yovu to replace Ivan Dolcek, Julius Eskesen, and Fatah. St Mirren also shuffled their squad after a loss to Aberdeen, with Conor McMenamin and Jonah Ayunga starting in place of Mikael Mandron and the suspended Jayden Richardson.

The match began evenly, but St Mirren took the lead in the 18th minute when Declan John's cross was met by Nlundulu from close range. Despite having opportunities to extend their lead, the visitors failed to capitalize. United took advantage of a mistake by the St Mirren goalkeeper to level the score just before the break.

After halftime, the hosts controlled the game and managed to score two more goals, securing all three points. The match was also marked by a controversial VAR decision that led to Gogic's red card and the penalty for United.

From a sports analysis perspective, Dundee United showcased strong character and the ability to turn games around, which could prove crucial in their quest for top positions in the league. St Mirren, on the other hand, will need to find a way to end their losing streak if they wish to maintain their status in the top flight.
