Aberdeen earned a vital victory in the Scottish Premiership, defeating Hibernian 2-0 to hand Stephen Robinson his first win as head coach. Kevin Nisbet scored twice, including a penalty after Grant Hanley's red card, to secure the win.
The Dons had been struggling with just one win in their last 16 matches, while Hibs were unbeaten in their last five. The game changed when Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, and Nisbet converted the resulting penalty. Aberdeen dominated the game, with Nisbet scoring his second goal with 15 minutes remaining.
The win gives Aberdeen a much-needed boost in their battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up today and were counted.' Hibs boss David Gray felt the red card was the correct decision, but was disappointed with the timing of the second goal. The win moves Aberdeen up the table, while Hibs' hopes of catching Motherwell for fourth place take a hit.
