Raith Rovers 0 : 2 Dundee - McAlister leaves it late
Posted Friday, January 03, 2014 by PA
Jim McAlister scored two late goals as Dundee beat 10-man Raith 2-0 to move five points clear at the top.
Rovers played the last 25 minutes a man down after Jason Thomson was sent off and McAlister ended their resistance with an injury-time double.
Raith had the better of the first half and Kyle Letheren made saves from Gordon Smith and Calum Elliot while Liam Fox fired wide.
Dundee were dealt a blow after half-time when Letheren fell heavily as he attempted to punch the ball clear at a corner and had to be carried off on a stretcher.
But Rovers' task was also made more difficult when Thomson was shown a second yellow card for tripping Martin Boyle.
Dee pressed for a winner and finally made the breakthrough when Ross Laidlaw fumbled a high ball and McAlister fired home.
Moments later the midfielder rounded Laidlaw to seal a dramatic victory.
