A deflected Fotheringham strike on 72 minutes dealt Dundee their first defeat at St Johnstone for five years.
St Johnstone defeated Dundee 2-1 in a Scottish Premiership derby to hand their rivals their first loss at McDiarmid Park in five years. Josh Campbell opened the scoring for Simo Valakari's side with a fifth-minute header from an Enes Alic cross. Dundee substitute Joe Westley equalized shortly after halftime following a defensive collision between Dan Finlayson, Ross Sinclair, and Cheick Diabate.
Kai Fotheringham secured the victory in the 72nd minute when his shot took a heavy deflection past Owen Goodman. Dundee had a late Ryan Finnigan effort ruled out for an Owen Bevan foul, allowing St Johnstone to move level with Dundee on 17 league points.
