James McPake scores deep into stoppage time as Dundee come from two goals down to draw 2-2 against rivals Dundee United.

James McPake scored a late equaliser as Dundee came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against city rivals Dundee United at Tannadice this evening.

Paul McGinn had an early chance for the hosts with a low drive that was palmed away by Luis Zwick.

Rory Loy and Gary Harkins then saw their attempts on goal saved by Zwick, as the visitors enjoyed a dominant start.

United began to show more of a threat and Aidan Connolly saw his shot blocked before Scott Fraser's long-range attempt was saved by Scott Bain.

At the end of the first half, Greg Stewart saw his volley kept out by Zwick and Loy fired the rebound wide, as the teams went into the break on level terms.

The hosts made a strong start to the second period and John Rankin drove in a powerful effort from range that was stopped by Bain.

In the 64th minute the Terrors finally made their pressure count as Spittal tricked his way into the box and drilled a low strike beyond the keeper.

It got even better for the hosts just three minutes later when Spittal latched on to Chris Erskine's threaded pass and kept his composure to slot an effort into the corner to give his side a two-goal lead.

Spittal came close to completing his hat-trick soon after, but his low free kick was pushed behind by Bain.

With nine minutes left to play Dundee gave themselves hope of a late comeback, as Stewart curled a strike beyond the reach of Zwick and into the top corner.

The visitors continued to press, and in the final minute of stoppage time McPake bundled the ball into the net after Zwick had spilled a strike from Harkins to ensure that the game finished all square.
