Clinical Aberdeen canter past lacklustre Kilmarnock

Aberdeen join Celtic and Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership after securing a straightforward 2-0 win over Kilmarnock at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen have secured a straightforward 2-0 win over Kilmarnock in their Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie.

The hosts were first to threaten as Killie failed to defend a 15th-minute corner properly, leading to Paul Quinn sending a header against the crossbar.

On the half-hour mark Aberdeen once again came close to taking the lead, only to be denied by Jamie MacDonald's swift reflexes as he pushed away a powerful header from Shay Logan.

The visitors couldn't survive for much longer, however, as Jonny Hayes rode a poor challenge by Darryl Westlake in the 36th minute before the ball broke to Graeme Shinnie, who fired powerfully into the top corner.

Aberdeen then killed off the game shortly before the hour as Willo Flood was taken down in the box, prompting the referee to award his side a penalty which Adam Rooney side-footed home.

Aberdeen join Celtic and Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership with maximum points from the opening two games.
