PLAYER RATINGS
DUNDEE UNITED (4-2-3-1) TEAM AVERAGE
MARK BIRIGHITTI 2
The Australian’s error as Vangelis Pavlidis made it 3-0 was the low point of the seven goals lost on a terrible night for the jittery No 1.
LIAM SMITH 3
An evening the right-back won’t forget in a hurry as Alkmaar star Milos Kerkez drove time and again at a fragile United back line.
RYAN EDWARDS 3
Humiliation for the United skipper as his abject side conceded five times in 15 minutes either side of the break in the Netherlands.
CHARLIE MULGREW 3
The former Celtic and Scotland defender was part of a United defence that was all over the place too often in this hammering.
AZIZ BEHICH 2
The Aussie defender was so off the pace on his debut. Failed to clear his lines at the fourth goal before being replaced by Scott McMann.
DYLAN LEVITT 3
Part of a midfield dominated by Alkmaar. Unfortunate to deflect ball into path of Tijjani Reijnders, who thumped home for 2-0.
CRAIG SIBBALD 2
A peripheral figure as AZ Alkmaar ran riot. No surprise when the midfielder was replaced at half -time by Ilmari Niskanen.
JAMIE McGRATH 3
The on-loan Wigan Athletic attacking midfielder was one of the first-leg stars but he was anonymous in this humiliation.
IAN HARKES 3
American midfielder was unlucky not to score early on with a spectacular overhead kick before the roof caved in on United.
TONY WATT 2
No impact in attack. Lost possession dribbling out of the left-back area for Evjen’s fifth goal for Alkmaar. Replaced at break.
STEVEN FLETCHER 3
Striker won his share of aerial duels but team-mates could not get on the end of knock-downs before he was replaced.
SUBSTITUTES Niskanen (Sibbald 46), Middleton (Watt 46), McMann (Behich 54), Cudjoe (Fletcher 66), Meekison (Levitt 75). Not used: Eriksson, Graham, Clark, Freeman, Fotheringham, Anim, MacLeod.
JACK ROSS 2 A horror show for the United boss as shell-shocked side equalled the worst-ever margin of defeat for a Scottish club in a European game. AZ ALKMAAR (4-3-3): Verhulst; Hatzidiakos (Witry 62), Beukema, Martins Indi, Kerkez (M de Wit 62); Reijnders, D de Wit (Barasi 75), Clasie n (Bazoer 75); Evjen, Pavlidis, Van Brederode (Lahdo 62). REF ANTONIO LAHOZ (SPA) 6 No controversy, only the fear of repetitive strain injury as he kept pointing to the centre circle for yet another Alkmaar goal ATTENDANCE N/A
