Kilmarnock secures crucial point in relegation battle after dramatic late penalty save

A stoppage-time penalty save by Kelle Roos helped Kilmarnock earn a vital point in their fight against relegation, as they drew 2-2 with Dundee in a thrilling match. The visitors were awarded a penalty in the dying minutes, but Roos guessed correctly to deny Joe Westley. The result keeps Kilmarnock in the relegation play-off spot, just two points behind St Mirren. The home team started brightly, with Luke Graham's weak header being pounced upon by Greg Kiltie, who set up Bruce Anderson. Anderson's strike was deflected into the path of Joe Hugill, who volleyed in his third goal for Kilmarnock. Dundee equalized against the run of play in the 24th minute, with Tony Yogane beating his man and delivering a cross that Simon Murray headed in. Kilmarnock regained the lead through Michael Schjonning-Larsen's superb left-footed drive, but Dundee levelled again when Imari Samuels set up Scott Wright for a well-taken finish. The match ended with Dundee being awarded a penalty, but Roos's save ensured Kilmarnock took a point. Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann felt his team should have won, but was confident in their ability to climb the table. Dundee boss Steven Pressley criticized the technology used for VAR, saying it put officials in a difficult position and called for greater investment in the technology.
