    'One Jimmy Thelin' chant the Aberdeen fans, who aren't planning on leaving just yet.

    Thelin himself has a big grin on his face. What a start the Swede has had in Scottish football.

    The fans believe something special is happening under Jimmy Thelin.

    He's got great football knowledge - just look at the changes he made. You still need quality on the pitch though, and Nisbet delivered it right at the end.

    Dimitar Mitov is taking the acclaim of the travelling support after his magnificent penalty save.

    The Bulgarian was superb for St Johnstone last season and has started in much the same vein for Aberdeen.

    It was quite a game and the Aberdeen fans are having a party.

    Don Cowie can be proud of what he got out of his team tonight - they gave everything for their manager.

    It was a special moment though when Nisbet slotted home.

    Ross County 0-1 Aberdeen

    Noah Chilvers has a wonderful chance to equalise with the last kick of the game, but scuffs his effort and it's easy for Dimitar Mitov in the Aberdeen goal.

    The full-time whistle goes, and Kevin Nisbet's last-gasp goal gives the Dons all three points.

    It's incredible.

    Morris has looked a threat since coming on and hits the byline. It's all about Nisbet's movement though. Wow.

    Kevin Nisbet

    Aberdeen's winning run is set to continue!!

    Kevin Nisbet has his first Aberdeen goal, and what a time to get it.

    There's fans on the pitch - limbs all over the shop in that away end.

    Shayden Morris skins his man down the right, pulls it back and Nisbet finds the bottom corner with aplomb.

    A brilliant surging run from Vicente Besuijen wins Aberdeen a corner in front of the away end.

    Ross Laidlaw punches it clear.

    Yes, that's right. Nine minutes added on in Dingwall.

    Chance yet for a winner.

    Ross County 0-0 Aberdeen

    It's a clever bluff from the hosts, as the ball is rolled to the edge of the box for Noah Chilvers to run onto, but he skies his effort miles over the bar.

    A big chance goes begging.

    Ross County 0-0 Aberdeen

    Graeme Shinnie gives Noah Chilvers a little shove in the back, and the County forward doesn't need an excuse to go down.

    It's a free-kick out on the right-hand side and a chance for the hosts to get the ball in the box.

    The sting has gone out of the game a wee bit in the last five minutes or so.

    There's always a late chance though in games like this...

    A final roll of the dice for Don Cowie.

    Noah Chilvers, Eli Campbell and Jack Grieves are all on for the hosts.

    Ronan Hale, Josh Nisbet and Kecper Lopata make way.

    Can either side find a winner?

    I think Aberdeen have probably been the better team, but County's work-rate has been excellent and they certainly haven't lacked belief.
