Hibs’ Head Coach Jack Ross last night said the manner of victory over Aberdeen was ‘really pleasing’ and he praised the quality of two-goal Martin Boyle.
After an evenly fought first half in dreadful conditions, Hibs sparked to life after the break recording the biggest home league victory over the Dons for 62-years.
The quality of Hibs’ play was outstanding at times with every man playing his part although a special mention should go to Florian Kamberi who capped off a five-star performance with a sensational solo goal.
Scott Allan provided the pass of the day to open up the Aberdeen defence allowing Boyle to dance round the keeper and tap the ball into the empty net then Kamberi was the supplier for Boyle’s second with a visionary ball.
The players were deservedly applauded from the field as Hibs consolidated their top six place.
After the final whistle Ross said: “I’ve been pleased with the performance levels, even in the last two games (against Ross County and Kilmarnock) we didn’t win, and we just continued that against a really good side.
“To win full stop, never mind in that manner, was really pleasing.
“We’re very much a front foot team but it’s just getting the balance right and we were better today. The quality of our goals is terrific as well.
When asked about the performance of Boyle he added “He is also a good player, you don’t know how good they are until you work first hand with them and he’s a good player.
“He is quick but he is a good footballer and helped us.
“He’s a terrific character and he’s got a real desire to do well in games, he trains brilliantly.
“He is a good all-round footballer as well as being quick, which is what people always look at.
“I am lucky with the group of players I’ve inherited that how they go about their business day-to-day is really good and I’ve enjoyed working with them.”
