Kyle Vassell and Marley Watkins scored a goal each to secure a convincing win for Kilmarnock against Aberdeen. The victory propelled Kilmarnock to fourth place in the Premiership. Vassell, who had not trained until Friday, opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the season. Watkins, who returned to the team just a day before the game, added his fourth goal of the campaign against his former club. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes praised their performance and highlighted their impact on the game.
Derek McInnes saluted dynamic duo Kyle Vassell and Marley Watkins for dragging Aberdeen to their knees.
“It’s difficult when you manage and play in teams when you don’t have that threat at the top end, so getting the ball in means you always think something will happen. “That second goal allowed us to take a breath and negate the Aberdeen shape. We didn’t create as much, but the game was won.” “The opening 20 minutes was a really untidy game. It was two teams matched up in systems. Obviously we’ve had a forced change with Ndaba out of the team.
“Second half, Barry made changes which caused us a wee issue with our wingers being down the sides. When you have the speed and quality of their strikers and they’re stretching us it was a bit of cat and mouse.
