Aberdeen Secures Crucial Win Under Robinson's Leadership
Kevin Nisbet scored twice to secure a 2-0 win for Aberdeen against 10-man Hibernian, handing Stephen Robinson his first victory as head coach. Nisbet's goals came from a penalty and a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar. The win was a much-needed boost for Aberdeen, who had gone into the game with just one win in their last 16 matches. Hibs, who were unbeaten in their last five matches, were reduced to 10 men after Grant Hanley was shown a red card for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya. Aberdeen dominated the game and created several chances, with Nisbet's goals securing a morale-boosting clean sheet for the home side. Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up today and were counted.' Hibs boss David Gray felt the conditions were tough and the (Hanley) decision was correct, but unfortunate.
