Halliday's second goal then secured all three points, to the delight of the home crowd at Tynecastle.

Nicky Clark's header gave United the lead and Charlie Mulgrew made it 2-0 early in the second half with a curling free-kick into the top corner.

Dundee, however, scored two goals in two minutes after the hour mark through Daniel Mullen and Charlie Adam but United held on to remain fourth.
