Hibs boss Lee Johnson slammed Will Fish for the “ridiculous” challenge that gifted Dundee United the 90th minute spot kick.
It’s now four defeats on the spin for his side heading into Saturday’s massive derby with Hearts at Easter Road. But it looked like the Leith men would at least leave Tannadice with a point with the game balanced at 1-1 after Mykola Kukharevych cancelled out Steve Fletcher's early opener.
Then came the decisive moment in the 90th minutes when Fish lunged in on Fletcher who was heading away from goal to concede a spot kick from which Jamie McGrath sealed three huge points for bottom dogs United. And Johnson said: "It's a ridiculous challenge to make. Ridiculous. He actually had a chance to make amends at the other end, but I felt the big moment was Élie Youan's opportunity towards the end. Who'd be a football manager? Human beings, eh?
