Aberdeen Secure Crucial Win Under Robinson's Leadership

Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership victory over 10-man Hibernian, securing Stephen Robinson's first win as head coach. Kevin Nisbet scored a brace, including a penalty after Grant Hanley's red card, to seal a 2-0 win. The Dons had been struggling with just one win in their last 16 matches, while Hibs were unbeaten in their last five. The game changed when Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, and Nisbet converted the penalty. Aberdeen dominated the game, with Nisbet scoring his second goal with 15 minutes remaining. The win gives Robinson's side a much-needed boost in their battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Hibs boss David Gray felt the red card was accidental but correct, and the timing of the second goal was a 'sucker punch.' Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up and were counted' in a game where they didn't look like a team in a relegation battle.
