Hibs 2-0 Livingston: Nisbet and Boyle goals keep Hibs top
After a fairly even first half, Nisbet curled in the opener five minutes after the interval and it was virtually one-way traffic after that.
The visitors had one real chance of note in the second half; a header from a corner that Matt Macey pushed away, and Boyle made the points safe in injury time.

GOAL FOR HIBS!
Nisbet does well to skip past a challenge and curl the ball beyond Stryjek for the opener! Hibs 1, Livi 0!
Free kick to Hibs in a dangerous area... Boyle felled as he embarked on one of those mazy, driving run. Looks like Kyle Magennis will hit this one...
Porteous took the kick instead, smacked it off the base of the wall, and the linesman flagged for offside.
Sub for Livi
Craig Sibbald unable to continue after barging into Martin Boyle. The midfielder is, ahem, serenaded by the Hibs fans on his way off the park as Keaghan Jacobs comes on to replace him
Strong defending by McGregor there to force a corner as Livi looked to attack. He wanted a goalkick but no such luck
McGregor with a goalward header from a free kick but it lacks power and Livi clear it. Hibs keeping the ball up that end of the park though.
