Dundee overturned a 2‑1 deficit to beat Aberdeen 3‑2 at Dens Park, with Ryan Astley striking a 90th‑minute header for the winner. The win lifts the Dons to eighth in the Scottish Premiership, a spot that carries significant financial rewards.

The hosts opened the scoreline through Drey Wright, but Liam Morrison equalised for Aberdeen before Toyosi Olusanya gave the visitors a halftime lead. Dundee clawed back with Joe Westley’s goal, setting the stage for Astley’s dramatic finish.

Dundee’s coach Steven Pressley praised the resilience shown, noting the eighth‑place finish as a “terrific” outcome for the club’s finances. Aberdeen’s manager Stephen Robinson condemned the loss, calling the season “not good enough” and highlighting the need for more character.

With the victory, Dundee has secured a lucrative position in the league table, while Aberdeen must regroup after a disappointing finale that exposed gaps in consistency and composure.
