Celtic player ratings vs Dundee United as Jota and Aaron Mooy shine in Tannadice triumph

Celtic restored their nine point lead over Rangers at the Premiership summit after a comfortable win over Dundee United.

The hosts held on tight in the opening 45 minutes but the Hoops grabbed two quick-fire goals at Tannadice in the second period to put the game out of sight. First up Aaron Mooy delivered a stunning deep cross to the back post that Jota was on hand to turn home from a very, very tight angle for the opener just minutes after the restart.

Moments later the goalscorer turned provider as he forced a handball out of Kieran Freeman and following a VAR check whistler Don Robertson correctly pointed to the spot. Mooy - who has been in stunning form since the World Cup return - made no mistake as he sent Mark Birighitti the wrong way to double the champions' advantage and maintain his 100 per cent record from 12-yards. Victory means Ange Postecoglou once again denies Michael Beale and his Light Blues side the chance to claw back some points in the race for the title - despite an unbeaten start to life at Ibrox. Here's how we rated the league leaders.
