Donnelly shines brightest in thriller

Christopher Templeman put Forfar ahead on 17 minutes, crashing home Ross Campbell's centre, but United hit back after half an hour thanks to Donnelly's clinical finish from the edge of the area.
Donnelly got his second just shy of the hour mark by neatly converting following good work from Jamie Bain.
