Feeney: We can be best of rest
The on-loan Cardiff striker grabbed a double as United twice fought back from behind to secure a last-gasp 3-2 win over Saints at Tannadice.[LNB]The victory allowed Craig Levein's men to move ahead of both Hearts and Aberdeen - even though the Dons have demonstrated their own credentials by taking four points from the Old Firm in their last two outings.[LNB]"Aberdeen have had two great results and they have been the form team in the league," admitted Feeney.[LNB]"We were disappointed to lose last week but the gaffer said this week that third place is going to go down to the wire.[LNB]"You'd like to open up gaps but sometimes that doesn't happen. The most important thing is for us to keep winning and worry about ourselves.[LNB]"If we show the character we did against St Mirren, I'm sure come the end of the season we will hopefully be in that third position."[LNB]United suffered a shock 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Motherwell last week and knew they could not afford to slump to a second consecutive home defeat.[LNB]"We were disappointed going into the break 1-0 down but all credit to the boys," said Feeney.[LNB]"It was a test of character for us after last week and we had a go.[LNB]"They deserved to be up at the break but fair play to us for turning it around in the second half and it was good to get the three points.[LNB]"At half-time the manager just told us there was nothing to be scared of and to go out and have a go.[LNB]"He said maybe we weren't up to our best last week and it was going to be a big second half for us.[LNB]"The pride of the boys came out and it was a positive result for us."[LNB]Saints took a first half lead through Jack Ross before Feeney levelled from the penalty spot.[LNB]The visitors were back in front when Billy Mehmet also converted from the spot but were left reeling when Prince Buaben restored parity before Feeney grabbed a late winner.[LNB]Buddies boss Gus MacPherson admits he was stunned at the prospect of returning to Paisley empty-handed but refused to criticise his young stars.[LNB]He said: "There are some younger players in there who are a wee bit naive but you learn from it - and we will learn from it.[LNB]"I can't ask for any more from them, both from a technical aspect and a physical aspect.[LNB]"They are honest, genuine guys who are giving their absolute maximum and I really don't believe we're that far away.[LNB]"I know we've got a good team but we need the breaks along the way."[LNB][LNB]
