Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood was pleased with the way his side bounced back from their European disappointment to beat high-flying Hibernian 3-1 at Pittodrie on Sunday.

Lee Miller, Chris Clark and Derek Young were all on the scoresheet as the Dons came from behind to clinch the three points and erase the memory of Thursday's 2-0 UEFA Cup defeat to Atletico Madrid.

A delighted Calderwood said: "I think that was one of our best performances this season, given what we've been through in the past couple of weeks and considering the quality of the opposition.

"I thought we dominated the game from start to finish, but they broke away and their goal says a lot about the quality Fletcher has got.

"It would have been quite easy to then feel sorry for ourselves and down tools, but we created so many chances and somebody told me we had 29 efforts on goal against a Hibs side that were rightly third in the league.

"They are a very good team but we worked very hard to stop them playing and the efforts of the players were brilliant."
