Thibault Klidje and Elie Youan were on target as high-flying Hibernian held on to claim a 2-1 Premiership victory away to Aberdeen .

Hibs maintained their strong league form and managed to clinch maximum points for the second-successive match, despite Marko Lazetic reducing the deficit in injury time for the Dons, for the second week in succession.

Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin made three changes to the side that started their record European defeat against AEK Athens in midweek, with Ante Palaversa, Gavin Molloy and Kevin Nisbet starting.

The visitors were sure to provide a stern test of the Dons' improved domestic form and the side who started the weekend in third place were unchanged from their 4-0 win over Livingston last time out.
