Dundee United came from behind to beat holders Aberdeen 2-1 in the semi-final of the League Cup at Hampden on Saturday.

Dundee United came from behind to beat holders Aberdeen 2-1 in the semi-final of the League Cup at Hampden on Saturday.

Nadir Ciftci glanced home a Paul Paton cross with seven minutes left to send the Tannadice club into their first final in this competition since 2008.

Aberdeen had gone ahead just after half-time when Donervorn Daniels looped in a header from a long thrown-in from Andrew Considine but Jackie McNamara's men levelled through Callum Morris' header from a Gary Mackay-Steven corner.

Adam Rooney had a header ruled out for a push and that allowed Ciftci to send United through with time running out in front of 29,608 fans.
