Beating your rivals never gets old

[BBC] Dundee United fans have long had a soft spot for the song Beautiful Sunday. As it turns out, they picked a good one to live up to the name. For the final time this season the city rivals squared off.
For United, it was all about bragging rights and finishing above them yet again, pretty standard business really. For the other lot, it was slightly more pressing, their top-flight survival depended on it. No pressure.
United are floating in an end-of-season limbo. Too good to go down, not quite consistent enough to play in the top six, just trying to nail down seventh place and call it a day. The visitors arrived with big claims.
A multi-million-pound centre-half in the making, a supposedly in-demand goalkeeper, and a tactical system dubbed 'Pressleyball'. We've had tiki-taka and gegenpressing, but this sounds more like something you'd play on the beach on your holidays. So how did United cope?
