Aberdeen did pull one back through Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in the second half, but it was not enough to salvage anything from the game. The defeat leaves Aberdeen in 10th place in the Scottish Premiership table, just two points above bottom-placed Dundee United.
Manager Jim Goodwin will be pleased with his side’s performance and will hope they can build on this result in their upcoming matches. Meanwhile, Aberdeen will need to regroup quickly if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
