It's one way traffic at Easter Road.

Ivan Konovalov gets down well to save Elie Youan's deflected effort.

Hibs have had 22 shots so far this afternoon; Livi have had just three.

More impressive play from Dundee United as Glenn Middleton and Steven Fletcher combine, with the latter planting a header at goal.

But there's that man, Craig Gordon, tipping just over the bar. What a save to keep the visitors in it.

Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin has been giving his reaction to a third defeat inside a week.

"I think it's pretty clear why it unravelled," he said. "We made a mistake at the back. We should've played forward instead of coming back to Anthony Stewart, and he makes a poor decision.

"It's definitely a foul but I've not had a chance to see the angle the VAR has but we're not sure if it was inside or outside the box.

"There's no legislating for the goals we've lost. And the guys who've made the mistakes are big enough and strong enough characters to hold their hands up.

"But I am the manager and I take the brunt, and all the responsibility. I didn't think we were under any pressure at all. We gave St Mirren a gift."

Goodwin also confirmed Vicente Besuijen was allowed to go home for Christmas after suffering with illness recently.

He wasn't going to be ready to play anyway, the Aberdeen boss said. He'll be back in contention for Kilmarnock on the 28th.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will certainly enjoy his Christmas after yet another excellent home victory.

"I thought we were very good for 60 minutes," he said. "We looked tired the last 20, and nervous after we missed the (third) penalty to be honest.

"I thought the front two were excellent at times. Jonah's end product wasn't what he wanted but he's a real threat. Main as well, they gave absolutely everything.

"So some really good performances, but things we can be better at in terms of controlling and managing the game as well. But ultimately a super result for us."

It really should be five for Hibs.

They get in behind oh-so-easily, but Jack Fitzwater slides in to deny Elie Youan.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was pleased his players took on the message that an improvement in performance was needed after Wednesday night against Livingston.

"Our role is to try and keep improving our players and point out areas we can be better," he told BBC Sportsound. "Today we just looked a lot hungrier in those areas with a real intent and purpose to score goals and put pressure on the opposition and we got the rewards for it.

"Never at any stage have I felt like complacency is creeping in or they feel like they don't need to do more, they are almost demanding it from us, that we continually push them to be better."

On David Turnbull's red card, the manager said "it was hard to tell".

"I thought it was addressed with at the time with the yellow card," he added. "You usually get a good reaction from the players as to how serious or intentional it was, I don't think it was intentional at all to be fair."

A great finish by Dylan Levitt... But the build-up play was as good, if not better, than the finish itself. Slick passing, good movement, PlayStation stuff.

Now we're up and running at Tannadice again.

Here we go for the second half at Easter Road.

It might be a wee while before the teams are back out at Tannadice.

Yup. That first half at Tannadice took almost an hour to complete, with injuries and VAR checks.

After 57 minutes of pulsating first-half action it is honours even at the break at Tannadice. Both sides have given everything - we have had goals, tackles flying in, and a wee bit of controversy too. Just a quiet Christmas Eve in the City of Discovery.

And breathe. What a first-half. It's been even, it's been exciting, and either team could still win.

Dundee United took the lead when Steven Fletcher's deflected half-volley crept beyond Craig Gordon. The top-knotted striker has been a real thorn in the side of the Hearts back three.

But Hearts have looked exciting when they go forward, passing well and being orchestrated by Cammy Devlin - normally more influential in a defensive role. He got the assist for Michael Smith's eventual equaliser.

And then the real drama came. Colin Steven initially whistled for a penalty and a handball against Arnaud Djoum, but he overturned his own decision after looking at the pitch-side screen.

Hibs striker Kevin Nisbet has played two games since coming back from nine months out with an ACL injury - and he's scored in both.

Jason Holt's red card was the pivotal moment in that opening 45 - since then, Hibs have run riot.

Kevin Nisbet opened the scoring, before Chris Cadden quickly doubled their advantage.

Kyle Magennis then scored the free-est of free headers to effectively wrap up the three points for Lee Johnson's side.

And boy is this a welcome result for the home side who have lost seven of their last eight outings.

No penalty! Referee Colin Steven changes his mind after VAR asked him to review his decision.

Give us a second as we delve into the rule book... The ball struck Arnaud Djoum on his supporting arm as he went to ground.

Andy Halliday has been booked for dissent. The Hearts midfielder clearly disagrees with the final outcome.

Here are the first two Hibs goals for your viewing pleasure or despair, depending on your allegiances.

Handball from Arnaud Djoum, as he blocks Cammy Devlin's pass from close range when in a prone position.

But hang on now. Colin Steven is going to the screen...
