Overview
- Ivan Dolcek and Bert Esselink scored at Tannadice to lift Dundee United to third, leaving Aberdeen bottom with one point and no league goals from five games.
- Aberdeen supporters chanted for Jimmy Thelin to be sacked, and the manager conceded the team has hit "rock bottom."
- This is Aberdeen’s worst league start in 26 years, with the goalless run stretching beyond 450 minutes.
- A major summer rebuild has yet to gel, with tactical choices and midfield balance under question before a rematch at Motherwell following last weekend’s League Cup exit.
- Dolcek now has five Premiership goals in five games, and United are exploring a permanent deal with talks expected, according to local reporting.
