Match Report

TTA report

A vicious swerving 35-yard free-kick from Davidson (33) was all Thistle had to show. It equalised Aberdeen's opener but it was 2-1 by half-time. The forwards were shot-shy and Aberdeen scored again (69) to run out comfortable winners. Their best performance in weeks. 5 straight defeats. Thistle remained bottom.
