Aberdeen Secures Crucial Win Under Robinson's Guidance
Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership victory over 10-man Hibernian, gifting Stephen Robinson his first win as head coach. Kevin Nisbet scored a brace, with his first goal coming from a penalty spot after Grant Hanley was given a red card for fouling Toyosi Olusanya. Nisbet sealed the 2-0 win with a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar, with a VAR check confirming the ball had crossed the line. Aberdeen dominated the match, despite Hibs' initial unbeaten streak in their last five games. The win marks a significant morale boost for the Dons, who had only one win in their last 16 matches. Robinson praised his team's performance, stating they didn't resemble a side battling relegation. Hibs boss David Gray acknowledged the correct decision on Hanley's red card but felt the timing of the second goal was a significant setback.
