Partick Thistle 1-1 Dundee: Alan Archibald rues late goal

Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald admitted his side were hurting after a late own goal from Conrad Balatoni earned Dundee a 1-1 draw at Firhill.

"We did enough in the game to win it," Archibald told BBC Scotland.

"Disappointing with the goal at the end - I know it's a deflection but it's a sore one.

"I was quite happy with the shape of the team. We looked quite resolute, we didn't look like losing a goal.

"I thought after the goal we could control things. Dundee threw everything at us, and we looked okay. I didn't see the goal coming.

"It feels like two points dropped. It was a chance to go above the two teams ahead of us, and it's a sore one to take because we're at home."

Dundee manager Paul Hartley paid tribute to his players for their never-say-die attitude.

"I'm happy with the result because going into the dying minutes you're a goal down, credit to the players for never giving up," he said.

"The performance can be better, I didn't think it was a great game of football.

"We didn't create enough, we didn't work the ball well enough, and the intensity wasn't what it should be.

"Overall we'll take a point and we jump up a place which is good.

"One thing I'll say about the players; they keep going, they never give up, and they went right to the end which is fantastic to see."
