13 league games into the season, and after just one draw in the openingmatch against motherwell, victory at Tannadice finally allowed Celtic to overtake Hearts and climb to the top of the SPL table.
Chris Sutton scored three times - but didn't get a hat-trick as one was an own goal, which put Dundee Utd in the lead after only fourminutes!
Aside from his two goals, Stephen Pearson and John Hartson also scored, with Collin Samuel netting another consolation goal for Dundee Utd.
