Miller strike gives Aberdeen fifth win a row

Aberdeen 1 Hearts 0

Lee Miller’s first-half strike gave Aberdeen their fifth consecutive Clydesdale Bank Premier League home win against 10-man Hearts in front of a packed Pittodrie.

The Dons striker bagged his seventh goal of the season when he volleyed home Scott Severin’s free-kick.

Marius Zaliukas saw red in a fiery second half for elbowing Andrew Considine when a melee broke out in the Aberdeen penalty box in the run up to a Hearts corner.
