Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren in the Premiership on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren Post-Match Review
St. Mirren took the lead in the 27th minute when M. Mandron found the net, putting the visitors ahead in what looked like a dominant start given their possession edge. Dundee responded quickly with an own goal just two minutes later at the 29th, levelling the score and shifting some momentum back to the home side. Before the break, D. Wright added a second for Dundee in the 39th minute, giving them a deserved halftime advantage despite St. Mirren’s control of the ball.
The second half saw St. Mirren push hard but fail to convert their chances, with yellow cards to M. Mandron at 35’ and K. Phillips at 85’ highlighting some frustration. Dundee made tactical changes, including T. Yogane off for I. Samuels at 70’, S. Murray off for A. Hay at 78’, C. Congreve off for C. Jones at 79’, and Y. Dhanda off for P. Digby at 86’. The hosts sealed the win late on with J. Westley scoring in the 87th minute, capitalising on St. Mirren’s inability to break through despite their pressure.
Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren Statistics
Dundee’s 37% possession contrasted sharply with St. Mirren’s 63%, yet the home side made the most of their opportunities, converting efficiently while the visitors racked up 11 corners to Dundee’s one without finding the net after their opener. Successful dribbles heavily favoured St. Mirren at 89 to Dundee’s 30, suggesting they created more individual threats, but two assists for Dundee compared to none for St. Mirren underlined better final-third quality that influenced the 3-1 result. St. Mirren picked up two yellow cards while Dundee had none, and both teams used four substitutions each, with Dundee’s late changes helping to secure the win without any red cards or penalties on either side.
These stats show St. Mirren dominated territory but lacked cutting edge, as their high dribble count didn’t translate to goals, while Dundee’s disciplined approach and timely assists proved decisive in turning the game their way.
Key Moments from Dundee 3-1 St. Mirren
The match turned on a quick sequence around the half-hour mark, with St. Mirren’s M. Mandron scoring at 27’ only for Dundee to equalise via an own goal at 29’, followed by D. Wright’s strike at 39’ that gave the hosts the lead going into the break. St. Mirren’s substitutions, including D. John off for S. Tanser at 32’, C. McMenamin off for R. Idowu and M. Mandron off for J. Ayunga both at 65’, and J. Richardson off for M. Dijksteel at 75’, aimed to inject energy but couldn’t overturn the deficit. Dundee’s late goal from J. Westley at 87’ proved decisive, coming after their own subs like T. Yogane off for I. Samuels at 70’, effectively killing off any comeback hopes.
Yellow cards to St. Mirren’s M. Mandron at 35’ and K. Phillips at 85’ added to their woes, reflecting disciplinary lapses in a game where Dundee’s efficiency in key moments made the difference.
