Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership victory over 10-man Hibernian, marking Stephen Robinson's first win as head coach. Kevin Nisbet scored twice, including a penalty, to secure a 2-0 win. The match turned in Aberdeen's favor when Grant Hanley was sent off for fouling Toyosi Olusanya, leading to Nisbet's penalty.
Despite Hibs' efforts, Aberdeen dominated the game, with Nisbet sealing the win with a powerful drive in the 75th minute. Robinson praised his team's performance, stating they played 'excellent' football, while Hibs boss David Gray acknowledged the correct decision on Hanley's red card but felt the timing of the second goal was a 'sucker punch.'
