Aberdeen Secures Crucial Win Over 10-Man Hibernian

Aberdeen earned a vital victory in the Scottish Premiership, defeating 10-man Hibernian 2-0 to give head coach Stephen Robinson his first win. Kevin Nisbet scored twice, including a penalty after Grant Hanley was sent off, to seal the win. The Dons had been struggling, with only one win in their last 16 matches, while Hibs were unbeaten in their last five. The game changed when Hanley was dismissed for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, and Nisbet converted the penalty. Aberdeen dominated, with Nisbet scoring his second goal with 15 minutes remaining. Hibs pushed for a late comeback but the Dons held on for a morale-boosting clean sheet. Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up today and were counted.' Hibs boss David Gray felt the red card was correct but unfortunate, and the timing of the second goal was a 'sucker punch.'
