Aberdeen Secures Crucial Win Over 10-Man Hibernian

Aberdeen earned a vital Scottish Premiership victory over Hibernian, with Kevin Nisbet scoring a brace to secure a 2-0 win. The match took a significant turn when Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, resulting in a penalty that Nisbet coolly converted. The win marked Stephen Robinson's first as head coach, providing a much-needed boost to Aberdeen's battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Despite Hibs being unbeaten in their last five matches, Aberdeen's man advantage told, with Nisbet sealing the win with a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar. Robinson praised his team's performance, noting they 'didn't look like they were in a relegation battle,' 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.'
