Devlin reckons Topi can be deadly for Dons

- BY SCOTT BURNS

NICKY DEVLIN reckons Topi Keskinen showed what a lethal weapon he can be for Aberdeen in their six-goal destruction of Livingston.

The Finnish international scored twice and provided an assist for Kevin Nisbet as he hit top form on Saturday.

The Dons haven't always played in a way that gets the most out of the 22-year-old’s blistering pace during his first 18 months at Pittodrie.

But defender Devlin reckons interim boss Peter Leven has shown how to unlock his potential after Keskinen ran riot down the left flank with full debutant Mitchell Frame against Livi.

The right-back said: “Down the left, with Topi and Mitch, we were really good. Mitch hasn't been involved too much before this.

“Topi, that was by far his best performance of the season. It shows when he is at it like that he can be such a weapon for us and a problem for the other team.

“Both guys down that side were really good.
