Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2 Dundee United 1: Ofere and Williams keep European dream alive

Inverness Caledonian Thistle edged closer to securing their first foray into Europe after a 2-1 victory over Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Goals from Edward Ofere and Danny Williams secured all three points as third-placed Inverness moved seven points clear of the visitors - their nearest challengers for a UEFA Europa League spot - on Tuesday.

United started the quickest at the Caledonian Stadium as Robbie Muirhead capitalised on a poor clearance from Ryan Esson to put them ahead inside two minutes, but they failed to make their pressure pay further.

Ofere's fourth goal of the season set that recovery in motion in the 37th minute, the striker tapping home after a cut back from Marley Watkins, and Williams secured the points shortly before the break with a 20-yard volley.
