Dundee United's superior finishing was the difference between the two sides at Rugby Park as Kilmarnock paid heavily for being wasteful in front of goal with a 2-1 defeat.
After David Goodwillie put United ahead on 15 minutes, Kilmarnock dominated the first half and again after the break before United doubled their lead on 69 minutes through Jon Daly.
Kilmarnock ended the game with 10 men after two late bookings for Frazer Wright while Conor Sammon's injury-time goal was a mere consolation.
