Aberdeen storm to win over Hibernian to climb to third

Bojan Miovski was again Aberdeen’s goalscoring hero as Jim Goodwin’s side saw off Hibernian 4-1 to leapfrog the visitors and climb to third in the cinch Premiership – but not without a helping of VAR drama.

Miovski netted either side of half-time to put his side in the driving seat, before Ylber Ramadani struck a third. Mykola Kukharevych pulled one back before Leighton Clarkson’s cheeky fourth put the result beyond all doubt.

Video referee Steven Kirkland was heavily involved in the penalty that eventually led to Miovski opening the scoring, and also gave the nod to Hibs’ consolation.

The visitors had the better of the early spoils but it would be midway through the first half before either goalkeeper was called into serious action, Aberdeen’s Kelle Roos acrobatically pushing Ewan Henderson’s header from a Chris Cadden cross over the bar.

Aberdeen’s first effort came on the counter from a Hibs corner. Miovski slipped in Duk to fire a low shot beyond David Marshall, only for Marijan Cabraja to slide in to clear off the line.
