Scottish Premiership: Aberdeen 2 - 1 Heart of Midlothian

-

Aberdeen came from behind to end Hearts' unbeaten start to the Scottish Premiership season and revive their own campaign.

Having previously gone 10 games without a win, Stephen Glass was under severe pressure. Aberdeen have since responded brilliantly with seven points from nine against Hibs, Rangers, and Hearts.

Given the opposition and injuries, it has been a superb showing from the Aberdeen boss and his players. You can hear what the Aberdeen manager had to say by watching the video below. 

The result means that Hearts have dropped to third place in the table and Aberdeen are now 6th.

The Hearts manager Robbie Neilson spoke with the media after the match: "I don't think we played to the levels we have consistently this season. We were going to lose at one point and today was that day.

"There's going to be days where you don't pick up the points, that's football. We just need to get back to it now and make sure we get the points next week."

The match winner, Lewis Ferguson, added to Aberdeen's online TV channel: "The crowd got right behind us and it was a great comeback."

The Aberdeen manager added: "It is the best response I have seen, the first-half performance wasn't something I'd expect." 

His side had previously put in a great performance against Rangers at Ibrox but ultimately let the three points slip and only picked up a 2-2 draw. That being said, as we said further up, that improved form in recent weeks has seen them further up in the table now and they can potentially start looking upwards.

The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager.

The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
