Marko Lazetic scored six minutes into stoppage time to help Aberdeen defeat 10-man St Mirren in Paisley for the first time since 2018.

A competitive match looked set to end goalless until the substitute thrashed a shot beyond Shamal George to seal back-to-back wins for Jimmy Thelin’s side.

St Mirren had Jayden Richardson sent off and an Alex Gogic effort disallowed in a feisty contest, with Saints boss Stephen Robinson also shown a red card after the full-time whistle.

The hosts made four changes from the team beaten by Kilmarnock in their previous outing. Marcus Fraser, Mark O’Hara, Keanu Baccus and Dan Nlundulu came in, while Richard King, Roland Idowu, Liam Donnelly and Jonah Ayunga all rotated to the bench. Goalkeeper Shamal George overcame a sickness bug to start.

Aberdeen made just one change following their 4-0 win over Dundee, with Gavin Molloy replacing Emmanuel Gyamfi.

The home side could have been in front within two minutes. A short corner was headed back across goal by Mikael Mandron to Keanu Baccus, whose shot was saved by Dimitar Mitov.

Aberdeen survived that let-off and created a chance of their own, only for Adil Aouchiche to shoot over the crossbar after good work by Jesper Karlsson.
