Watch highlights of Aberdeen's 1-0 win over Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes was sent to the stand at Tannadice but was ultimately a happy man after a win over Dundee United saw them close the gap on Premiership leaders Celtic.

Simon Church headed the only goal in the 29th minute as the Dons took advantage of Celtic's draw with Dundee to move four points behind.

McInnes was punished for protesting over a second disallowed goal for his side after Bobby Madden had harshly booked Graeme Shinnie for diving, but his side withstood some late pressure to claim a crucial win.

United were looking for a third consecutive victory over a top-four side after reviving their flagging survival hopes by beating Hearts and Ross County, but they remain eight points adrift.
