Hibs 2-0 Hamilton: Doig and Boyle strike to end Accies' resurgence

Hibs comfortably defeated Hamilton Accies 2-0 at Easter Road in a breathless 90 minutes in the Capital.

Hibs take on Hamilton at Easter Road this afternoon

The first 20 minutes alone brought a red card, a goal, a spot kick, and a penalty save as Martin Boyle fired Hibs in front moments after being fouled by Jamie Hamilton, the visiting player trudging off for an early bath.

Boyle stepped up when Doidge was fouled in the area but Ryan Fulton saved his kick to deny him consecutive penalty goals at Easter Road.

Hibs kept up the pressure in the second half and had several chances, before Josh Doig powered a header into the roof of the net for his first senior goal for the club.

Accies offered little for the bulk of the second period with Ofir Marciano making a routine save from Anderson and having very little else to do.

The victory keeps Hibs in third with a four-point cushion – and a game in hand – over fourth-placed Aberdeen.
