A stalemate at Tannadice! Dundee United and Motherwell played out a goalless draw, extending the Steelmen's unbeaten run to a remarkable nine matches. But here's where it gets controversial... United, on the other hand, are winless in seven consecutive games.
The hosts made a few changes, bringing in Bert Esselink, Amar Fatah, and Max Watters, while Motherwell also altered their lineup, introducing Stephen Welsh, Callum Slattery, and Callum Hendry.
The game started with a bang as Hendry's header from a Slattery cross in the eighth minute tested United's goalkeeper, Dave Richards. However, as the first half progressed, the action fizzled out, with neither side truly threatening.
As the half-time whistle loomed, Tawanda Maswanhise had a chance to break the deadlock, but his effort was straight at Richards.
In the second half, Fatah almost broke the deadlock with a fierce shot that narrowly missed the target. The Steelmen had their chances too, with Elijah Just's effort deflected over for a corner. Slattery then had a go, but his shot flew past the post.
United's Craig Sibbald tried an ambitious lob from his own half, catching the Motherwell goalkeeper off guard, but it just missed the target.
As the game entered its final stages, Motherwell substitute Ibrahim Said set up Slattery, but his shot flew over the bar.
And this is the part most people miss... despite the lack of goals, this game had its fair share of drama and controversy. With both teams pushing for a win, the tension was palpable.
