Sam Cosgrove assisted nine-man Aberdeen make a late draw from Hibernian at Pittodrie.
The Dons fell behind from the 48th minute when Ryan Porteous stabbed home from close selection after Curtis Main was sent off moments, and things got worse for the hosts later.
Aberdeen kept battling and Cosgrove headed home to make a share of the spoils with four minutes left until Lewis Ferguson was shown a red card in time.
Sky Sports Luke Shanley…
Both managers will be frustrated after this one for various factors. Paul Heckingbottoms Hibernian have been in a dominant position, a target up and a man up but poor finishing has cost them two points.
Christian Doidge is your guilty party missing four one-on-ones using Aberdeen goalkeeper and captain Joe Lewis, who did his first job on every event.
Doidge united with big expectations awarded Hibernian paid a reasonable transfer fee for his services with their own criteria, however, the prior Welsh basketball international failed to deliver yet again.
He missed three good chances in the opening league game of the year against St Mirren. This result wont have helped his optimism and also the fans patience since the seven-and-a-half year wait to get a triumph in the Granite community of Hibernian continues.
Derek McInnes delegated media responsibilities to his helper Tony Docherty, who stated that the teams character and belief were right down to the supervisor. Aberdeen seemed to play better with 10 guys and they needed to clearly show their battling qualities following last weeks 5-0 thumping at Ibrox.
McInnes and Docherty felt Curtis Main nor Lewis Ferguson merited reddish cards for their challenges on Stevie Mallan however sense of pleasure worked for the group since they pulled together to salvage a point.
Another Aberdeen increase was the earlier than expected return of defender Scott McKenna from harm. His existence will no doubt help as Aberdeen look to regroup and recuperate over the global break.
Motherwell transferred to within 3 points of Ladbrokes Premiership leaders Celtic win over St Mirren at Fir Park.
The Well, who are in third position, a point behind Rangers, were made to wait patiently before the minute prior to taking the guide.
James Scott was the guy with all the Scotland U21 forward grading a sublime curling shot.
Chris Long then added gloss to the scoreline at the 86th minute to leave St Mirren.
St Johnstone remain bottom of the table, and with no win, after being held to a 2-2 draw at Ross County.
Joe Chalmers started the scoring for County at the 10th minute after reversing Ross Stewarts cross.
St Johnstone equalised after 34 minutes when a lovely ball in behind found Stevie May, who slotted home.
When Matty Kennedy fired at a long-range strike, the Saints took the lead six minutes after half-time.
Ross County rallied, though, and drew level to continue being fifth.
Elsewhere, the only goal was scored by Chris Burke since Kilmarnock picked up a win against Hearts.
