Dundee win at home for the first time this season

David Clarkson nets fourth goal in four league games

Greg Stewart hits the second

Hamilton's 11-game unbeaten run ends

David Clarkson and Greg Stewart grabbed the goals as Dundee beat table-topping Hamilton Academical to secure their first home league win of the season.

Accies created the better openings in the first half but Tony Andreu dragged an effort wide and Mikey Devlin headed into the side netting.

Clarkson nodded his fourth goal in four league games and Stewart slotted home the second with a left-foot drive.

Hamilton remain top of the pile despite seeing their 11-game unbeaten run end.

Dundee boss Paul Hartley described Hamilton's visit as the Premiership's "game of the day" and it started that way with Mickael Antoine-Curier drawing a great stop from home goalkeeper Scott Bain after some excellent passing from Accies.

Hamilton have enjoyed a fantastic return to Scotland's top tier and that was emphasised in 12 minutes when they set a new club top-flight clean sheet record, surpassing the previous 416 minutes set in season 2008-09.

At the other end, Andreu passed up a decent chance before Clarkson should have done a lot better for Dundee after getting on the end of a cross from Paul McGowan.

The best chance of the first 45 minutes fell to Hamilton when some terrific passing play led to a shot from Andreu which hit Thomas Konrad and then fell to Dougie Imrie, who forced a superb reflex save from Bain.

Accies had a strong claim for a penalty turned down by referee John Beaton four minutes into the second half when Danny Redmond was fouled at the edge of the box, with the Accies players claiming it was just inside.

Dundee took the lead when Gary Harkins' corner picked out Clarkson at the back post and he rose to bullet a header past Michael McGovern.

And Stewart then burst through the Accies defence and showed great composure to blast home a left-foot shot.
