Aberdeen Secure Crucial Win Over 10-Man Hibernian

Aberdeen earned a vital 2-0 victory over Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership, thanks to a brace from Kevin Nisbet. The win marked Stephen Robinson's first as head coach and provided a much-needed boost for the Dons, who had gone 16 matches with only one win prior to this encounter. Nisbet's goals came after Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, with the striker scoring from the penalty spot and later adding a second with a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar. The Dons had several chances throughout the match, with Stuart Armstrong and Emmanuel Gyamfi coming close, while Hibs struggled to create scoring opportunities despite their efforts. The victory gives Aberdeen a morale-boosting clean sheet and provides a glimmer of hope in their battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Following the match, Robinson praised his team's performance, stating that they 'stood up today and were counted,' while Hibs boss David Gray felt that the conditions were tough and the decision to send off Hanley was correct, albeit unfortunate.
