DONS ON TOPI THE WORLD

Wide boys deliver for Reds to the delight of Keskinen as Peter's men hit struggling Livi for six

TOPI KESKINEN believes Aberdeen are finally firing and entertaining again under Peter Leven.

The Dons smashed six past bottom-of-the-table Livingston to stop Falkirk stretching their five-point cushion inside the top six.

It was their biggest league win since pummelling Partick Thistle 6-0 in May 2017 - in terms of goals scored - as Kenan Bilalovic, Sivert Nilsen as well as doubles from Kevin Nisbet and Keskinen made it back-to-back wins.

Aberdeen have struggled for goals most of this season but interim boss Leven looks to have come up with the solution.

Keskinen said: "We're really happy, of course.

"We were just in the shower and talking about it - it was maybe the most entertaining game I've ever been part of.

"Just everything happened in that game. What was the result? 5-2? Oh, 6-2!"

Aberdeen have always played with two wingers.

Former boss Jimmy Thelin preferred them to be inverted but Leven wants them to get wide in order to swing balls into the box.

And Finland international Keskinen added: "He said to us before the game, 'We play with fast wingers, go one v one and just put the ball in the box... that's usually how we score goals'.

"That's my type of game, I need to be direct and usually it's good.
