Back to back wins, a five-figure home attendance creating a good atmosphere, and a team physically dominating a match to a comfortable victory. Philip Sim reports from Pittodrie.
Last time out against Dunfermline, Aberdeen created innumerable chances and only visiting stopper Paul Gallacher prevented the match ending with a cricket score.
Dundee United were expected to provide a much stiffer challenge than the SPL new boys, but in truth the Dons didn’t even have to play as well as they did against the Fifers to record a comfortable victory.
Dusan Pernis is normally a solid, reliable goalkeeper, but he made a bad error in United’s last match, against Motherwell, and he seems low on confidence.
He did very well to parry Rory Fallon’s header seconds before Kari Arnason stabbed home the opener, but his kicking was all over the place and even Andrew Considine will be wondering how his trundling effort crept in for Aberdeen’s third.
