9 minutes: Cammy Bell, who joined Dundee United after being released by Rangers this summer, saves Gavin Reilly's penalty

Cammy Bell made three first-half penalty saves to help Dundee United beat Dunfermline Athletic despite being reduced to 10 men at East End Park.

The goalkeeper had already stopped a Gavin Reilly spot-kick before Simon Murray's close-range opener for United.

Bell kept out penalties from Nicky Clark and Paul McMullan and Tony Andreu's drive extended the lead.

Michael Paton fired a reply before Paul Dixon's second yellow card, after which Andreu secured the 10 men's victory.

United's Frank van der Struijk was twice the culprit for the penalties, fouling Nicky Clark and then handling the ball in the box, for the second and third spot-kicks, the latter offence incurring a booking.

The win keeps United in fourth place in the Scottish Championship and leaves the Pars with only one win in their five games since promotion.

27 minutes: Bell makes his second penalty save, this time from Nicky Clark

32 minutes: Bell makes an astonishing third penalty save, Paul McMullan the Pars player denied from 12 yards.

Goalkeeping heroics Walter Scott of Grimsby Town was the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a single game; he performed this heroic feat in 1909 against Burnley. Other goalkeepers to achieve this feat include Manchester United's Gary Bailey, who saved three penalties against Ipswich Town at Portman Road in 1980 but still conceded six goals from open play, and Huddersfield Town's Matt Glennon, who saved three spot-kicks in a league game against Crewe Alexandra in 2007. The most penalties saved in a single season by a goalkeeper is eight (out of 10) by Paul Cooper of Ipswich Town in 1979-80. In international football, Poland's Jan Tomaszewski (1974) and the United States' Brad Friedel (2002) share the record for most penalty saves in open play, both saving twice from the spot.
