Peter Houston vows to attack in Russia

Dundee United manager Peter Houston claims that his side will attack in their Europa League third qualifying round second leg against Dinamo Moscow after drawing the first 2-2.

Dundee United manager Peter Houston has vowed to employ attacking tactics during the second leg of his side's Europa League third qualifying round against Dynamo Moscow.

United came agonisingly close to winning their first leg, but an injury-time effort from Dynamo's Alexander Kokorin took a big deflection to give the Russians a 2-2 draw.

Houston admits that Dynamo are now favourites to go through, but insists that his side will go all out for the win.

"I always say we're at our best when we have a go and try and score goals. We got in front and it is a cruel way to lose but at times we had our goalkeeper, who I thought had an exceptional game, to thank for keeping us in the game at crucial periods," said Houston.

"However we created chances too. I know it's 2-2 and they are favourites, they should be favourites even before the start, but a 1-0 victory gets us through and we will attack. We won't go out and try and hold on manfully. We'll be going out to try and win the match.

"We are at our best going forward and I think there are things in their make-up that they could be vulnerable at the back. Why sit back? We will be going for it. They will be favourites and they are a good side but you can never write off this bunch of guys."

The second leg of this tie will take place in a week's time.
