Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson: “It’s [the win] much needed.
"I thought we were very good at times but you could see a little bit of nervousness within the game. When you've only had one clean sheet at Pittodrie since November, there's obviously going to be a nervousness but I thought there were some excellent performances.
"We said all week if we deliver balls into the box Kevin Nisbet will score. He's been really behind what we're trying to do and I'm delighted with his two goals.
"I thought we were the better side with 11v11 as well. We created numerous opportunities, got into really good areas and delivered a lot more crosses than we have been. The key today was the clean sheet and the players managed to do that. It sets you up to not lose football matches and that has to be how we approach games from now on.
"When we saw it back [Emmanuel Gyamfi's red card check] I'm not sure why he [the referee] had to come over. The other VAR decisions were right.
"Hibs are a very good side, still challenging for Europe and to beat them today, with 10 men or 11, was really important.
"The criticism we get we deserve but the fans were excellent today. They got behind the players and when they do that you can see the confidence starting to run back through the team. You could see the confidence starting to come back, and a little bit more creativity, taking more chances. It's a good result for us after the performance in the first half last week.
"It's certainly a step in the right direction. It doesn't make us safe, we can't relax at all. We have to enjoy the moment, enjoy winning football matches, the fans haven't seen enough of that, but we know we still have a lot of work to do."
