| Pepper off as Aberdeen Defeated Again |
|
|
Aberdeen slumped to a fourth successive league defeat, still without a single
goal. It was the Gary McSwegan show at Tynecastle, as his hat-trick gave the
home side an easy three goal victory.
The first half was a bland affair with David Preece only being called into
action once, brilliantly tipping a Gary Mcswegan drive over the bar.
McSwegan finally found the net, 7 minutes from the interval, when Preece's
parried save fell into the ex-ranger's path and he buried it from 6 yards.
McSwegan got his and his side's second goal of the evening, on 50 minutes,
when he coolly finished from 12 yards.
Stephane Adam came close to making it 3-0 on 73 minutes, but his strike rebounded
off the bar and eventually out for a goal kick.
The Dons misery was compounded in the 84 minute when McSwegan got his hat-trick,
giving Preece no chance with a deadly finish.
The Don's night got worse, when Nigel Pepper was red-carded for a second bookable
offence, his third red card in Scottish football.
Final score from Tynecastle - Aberdeen 0 - 3 Hearts.
