Iqbal gets first goal as Dundee United edge Aberdeen in thriller

Dundee United defeated Aberdeen 3-2 in a dramatic Scottish Premiership encounter at Tannadice Park on Saturday. Zidane Iqbal opened the scoring with his first goal for the hosts, before Nesta Guinness-Walker leveled. Dylan Tait restored the lead for Dundee United, but Connor Ronan struck back after halftime. Zac Sapsford then sealed the victory for Jim Goodwin's side with a 72nd-minute header after an earlier effort was disallowed by VAR.

The result moved Dundee United up to fourth place in the Scottish Premiership standings, while Stephen Robinson's Aberdeen dropped down to ninth. Both Iqbal and Guinness-Walker netted their first goals for their respective clubs during the match. Aberdeen battled through severe squad limitations, with multiple central defenders sidelined due to a virus affecting the team prior to kickoff.
