Rocky Bushiri’s first goal for Hibernian rescued a point against Aberdeen in a pulsating Scottish Premiership contest which had three goals scored in second-half added time.
Joe Newell’s twice-deflected shot flew past a helpless Dimitar Mitov in the Aberdeen goal to give Hibernian a deserved half-time lead, but for the fifth time this season, they dropped points after going in front.
The visitors drew level through Jamie McGrath’s fifth goal of the season before home goalkeeper Jordan Smith failed to deal with an Aberdeen corner and allowed Nicky Devlin to loft home a tidy finish, which looked to be the winning goal until a scarcely believable closing period.
Nicky Cadden whipped a magnificent free-kick into the top corner to draw Hibernian level, but that was only the beginning of the chaos.
Ester Sokler slammed home a brilliant overhead kick to put Jimmy Thelin’s side in front again after great work down the right from Shayden Morris – who was superb off the bench – and looked to have taken Aberdeen level with Celtic at the top of the table.
However, Bushiri scrambled home from close range just over a minute later to spark wild scenes and relieve some of the pressure on home head coach David Gray.
