Dunfermline rally to win at Dundee United

Dunfermline came from behind to claim a 3-2 win over Dundee United in their Scottish Championship opener at Tannadice.

Nicky Clark broke the deadlock for United just before half-time against his former club, sliding home a loose ball after a goalmouth scramble in the 44th minute.

Dunfermline started the second half on the front foot, forcing some resolute defence from the Terrors.

Joe Thomson produced the equaliser in the 59th minute from a deflected strike and the visitors moved 2-1 when Jackson Longridge headed in from a deflected throw-in in the 67th.

Louis Longridge wrapped up the win for Dunfermline six minutes from the end when he beat a couple of defenders and fired a left-footed shot into the bottom right of goal.

Fraser Aird scored a second for United with two minutes left on the clock with a stunning strike, but it was not enough for the hosts.
