Match Report
The visitors were eclipsed in a five minute spell during which we scored three times and at the end of which the Dons were reduced to ten men following the dismissal of Windass. But for Leighton in the second half, the Tannadice tally could easily have been more. As it was, this was our biggest ever league win over Aberdeen, and easily, the largest victory from any live televised match in which we have figured.
