Aberdeen Women were left to rue missed chances as they lost out in a five-goal SWPL 1 thriller at Dundee United.
The Dons started well at Foundation Park with Hannah Innes hitting the crossbar with a long range effort before Hannah Stewart saw her header saved.
The visitors went behind thanks to a Cassie Cowper free kick.
Aberdeen got themselves back on level terms six minutes into the second half through Bayley Hutchison but their joy was shortlived as United regained the lead four minutes later thanks to Johan Fraser.
Rachel Todd extended the home side’s lead just after the hour mark before Eilidh Shore pulled a goal back to set-up a grandstand finish with seven minutes remaining.
The Dons did have the ball in the back of the net again deep into injury time but the effort was disallowed for offside as Clint Lancaster’s side came away with nothing to show for their efforts.
The result leaves Aberdeen in seventh place in the league while United are 10th following their second league win of the campaign.
