The current Dynamo team's resilience gave them a hard-earned victory, which their character and control undoubtedly merited.

They were resolute in defence with solid performances throughout by both Sam Westerman and Oli Blair.

I In midfield, the grit and determination to battle it out by Ben Cater and Struan Connor was particularly effective as they helped to build pressure, dominate possession and create a number of chances.

A couple of stunning saves by David Freer, the Dynamo keeper, ensured that the home side were always alert to any danger.

However, striker Lee McGowan was certainly in the groove and his man-of-the-match display produced an impressive hat trick as he plundered three classy and powerful goals.

Some last-ditch tackles by Jonny Bowers and Oli Mason helped to give Dynamo their fourth victory in the last five games as the team was particularly indebted to McGowan, the first Dynamo player for 15 months to hit three goals in a game.
