How Dundee United suffered humiliation against AZ Alkmaar - but avoid unwanted record
Dundee United have enjoyed many famous nights in Europe. This assuredly wasn’t one of them, losing 7-0 to AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of their Europa Conference League third round qualifier.
The Tannadice side went from re-engaging with the joys of European competition last week, winning 1-0 at Tannadice, to enduring a horror show in Alkmaar seven days later. It’s just as well the BBC are stopping their classified results service because this would have been given the 7 (seven) treatment.
Already 5-0 down, United matched the worst-ever result by a Scottish club in Europe by conceding two more goals in the second half. Many away fans were already on their way back to nearby Amsterdam to drown their sorrows.
