Izaguirre burst forward and played a delightful one-two with Commons before calmly tucking the ball past the on-rushing Bain.

Former Chelsea and West Ham striker Carlton Cole will train with Celtic with a view to signing a contract with the Scottish giants, manager Ronny Deila has confirmed.
Tom Rogic and Leigh Griffiths scored in the first half with Emilio Izaguirre, who was sent off against Ajax in midweek, on target twice after the break before missing a penalty for a rare hat-trick.
Dundee manager Paul Hartley commented that his team had produced “a poor performance”.
“I felt really good out there”.
Cole said: “Glasgow has surprised me, I’ve never been to Scotland before so hopefully we can do a deal”.
A night earlier on Thursday, Troisi’s fellow former Melbourne Victory player Mark Milligan set up the opener for Bani Yas in a 3-3 Arabian Gulf League draw away to Al Fujairah. He sensed a shot at redemption when Dundee began to defend so deep that there was little for him to do at left back.
Rogic had Celtic fans doing cartwheels with his performance in another positive sign ahead of the Canberra product’s home-town return for Australia’s World Cup qualifier against Kyrgyzstan on November 12 at Canberra Stadium.
