Aberdeen Secure Crucial Victory Over 10-Man Hibernian

Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership win as they defeated 10-man Hibernian 2-0, with Kevin Nisbet scoring a brace to secure Stephen Robinson's first victory as head coach. The match turned in Aberdeen's favor when Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, and Nisbet converted the resulting penalty. Despite being a man down, Hibernian put up a fight, but Nisbet's second goal sealed the win for Aberdeen. The victory is a much-needed boost for Robinson's side, who had only managed one win in their previous 16 matches. Aberdeen's win moves them away from the relegation zone, while Hibernian's loss hampers their chances of catching Motherwell for fourth place. The match was marked by controversy, with Hibernian boss David Gray disagreeing with the decision to send off Hanley, and also feeling that Aberdeen's Emmanuel Gyamfi should have been given a red card for a clash with Owen Elding.
