It's a huge three points for Thistle who run out deserved winners at Dens Park for the second time this season.
Fitzpatrick breaks and advances deep into the Dundee box before his driven shot is blocked.
We have another break in player for treatment to an injured player. A Dundee player. There could be a fair bit of injury time until this game is over.
Into additional time as the flag goes up against a Dundee player for offside.
Jakubiak has the ball at his feet inside the Thistle box but he barges McAvoy away to try and get past him and Thistle have a free kick that Sneddon is in no hurry to take.
Sweeney's header from the corner drifts over the Thistle bar.
We've nearly got a game again as Jakubiak's fist touch forces a great save from Sneddon.
Or maybe not! This sweep up the pitch at the restart and Milne is clear on goal and makes no mistake.
The home side are right back in the game and this is going to be a stressful last 10 minutes or so. McGhee forces the ball home from close range.
Clampin skips past Fitzpatrick and into the Thistle bot but he can't keep his shot down and it clears the bar with a bit to spare.
It's another goal from a corner. McAvoy has a clear header with which he really should hit target with. He doesn't but Graham is there at the back post to fire home.
There's a chance for Graham at Turner's corner but his first time shot flies straight at Legzdins.
Thistle have a free kick at the left hand corner of the Dundee box.
Turner's corner is cleared.
The Thistle goal is under some pressure but when a header comes towards his goal Sneddon is able to fall on the ball and save.
Angry scenes follow a tussle over on the far side in front of the Dundee fans. Graham ends up on the ground but after some lengthy treatment he receives a yellow card.
Crowd 4,622 with 323 travelling Thistle fans.
Tiffoney cuts a low ball right across the face of the Dundee goal but there are no takers for it.
An off balance Ashcroft sees his header from a Hannat free kick drop wide of Sneddon's goal.
A long range effort from Tiffoney is on target but straight at Legzdins who saves comfortably.
Robinson is again a threat to the Thistle defence. This time he manages to get on shot on target but Sneddon is right behind it and saves.
Thistle don't do a great job of defending the corner with McGhee able to get his head to it but his header is well wide of target.
Muirhead has to make a good block to deny Robinson a chance.
First look at goal in the second half for either side but Cameron skies his shot from outside the Thistle box over Sneddon's crossbar.
Thistle get the second half underway.
Thistle controlled much of the first 45 minutes and have a one goal lead, courtesy of Brian Graham's strike 5 before the interval, to take into the dressing room.
Nearly a Dundee equaliser as a flick to a long throw is cleared from right underneath Sneddon's crossbar.
The corner is cleared although Dundee remain on the attack.
Dundee can't clear Turner's corner. The ball falls to Graham who spins towards goal before firing into the back of the net. A deserved lead for Thistle with half time approaching.
Dundee are close to the opener with a McMullan shot across the face of goal.
There is a clear foul on Sneddon as Clampin's corner comes over and Thistle have a free kick.
First real spell of Dundee possession inside the Thistle half. It's some way from goal but they do win a free kick wide on the right hand side.
Thistle work a short corner. The ball eventually comes towards McAvoy but he can do no more than hook the ball over the bar.
A Turner shot takes a deflection.
Turner tries to find the net at Legzdins' right hand post. The ball isn't too far off target but the Dundee keeper is able to watch the ball go wide.
McMullan catches Tiffoney as he tries to cut inside to the penalty area and Thistle have a free kick right at the left hand corner of the Dundee bx.
Tiffoney plays a ball up to the feet of Graham inside, but wide, the Dundee box but his cross is headed clear as Thistle continue to dominate.
The Thistle fans are responding to an impressive opening 15 minutes from their team.
It's Thistle doing all the early pressing but without the reward of a clear look at goal.
There is a tug on Lawless' jersey and Thistle have a free kick near the right hand corner of the Dundee box.
After some good play from Robinson, McGhee delivers a low cross into the Thistle box but Sneddon is there to collect.
Some early promise from Thistle with two Tiffoney crosses cleared.
We're a few minutes late but the game is finally underway. Dundee kick-off and Thistle are shooting towards the away end in the first half.
Thistle round off a hectic month, a month that will see them complete 4 successive away fixtures, with a trip to Dens Park to face Dundee.
Kris Doolan's starting eleven shows two changes from the side that started at Arbroath at the weekend.
In come Brian Graham and Connor McAvoy with Danny Mullen dropping to the bench and Darren Brownlie missing out completely.
