Aberdeen slump continues with draw at Hearts
Aberdeen's fall from form continued in the Scottish Prermiership after it was held to a 1-1 draw away at Hearts, losing further ground on the top of the table.
Leighton Clarkson opened the scoring in the first half, only for Aberdeen captain Nicky Devlin to turn into his own net after the interval.
The result left Aberdeen without a win in its past three games, but manager Jimmy Thelin vowed to get his side back on course.
"You can see the players have the fight for each other," Thelin said. "They're really trying. I liked their approach, that they run so much. They keep running.
"We also need to find the rhythm again, the dynamic of the team. We have the quality, we just need to find the rhythm of the game again.
"Sometimes when the dynamic is there, you lose the ball and the opponents get the momentum too easily. That's the part we have to improve, because we have done it.
"We've taken points away from Hibernian and Hearts this week, that's a tough week. We want to get to Pittodrie and try again."
