Standout star carries Aberdeen past Hibernian | OneFootball

Kevin Nisbet converted from the spot in the 17th minute and later struck again as Aberdeen beat Hibernian 2-0. The striker's brace defined a controlled home display.

From the spot, he guided a right-footed finish into the bottom left, settling The Dons after VAR confirmed the penalty.

He stayed busy before the break, drawing a smart save with a glancing header from Alexander Jensen's cross (44.).

After the restart he made the result safe, smashing from the centre of the box into the roof of the net (75.), the goal awarded after a VAR review.

He finished with three shots on target from three attempts, seven touches in the box and six recoveries, underlining how he led the line and pressured the Hibees.

His movement between centre-backs and timing on crosses kept the Hibees' back line deep, ensuring The Dons controlled the key phases.

The Dons host Kilmarnock next in the Premiership. Hibs welcome Hearts.
