Aberdeen 4 Partick Thiste 1: Jim Goodwin praises 'application' of Dons players

Jim Goodwin hailed his Aberdeen heroes last night as they dismantled a gritty Partick Thistle to move into the Premier Sports League Cup semi-final with four stunning strikes that left the Jags with an impossible hurdle to overcome. 

Luis Lopes, a Kevin Holt own goal and Hayden Coulson strike put the Dons on easy street in the first half before substitute Darren Brownlie pulled one back for the visitors minutes after the break. 

But a stunning long-range strike from Ryan Duncan late on sealed the semi-final place for the hosts on a night when they produced a display of confidence and quality as they look ahead to facing Rangers in the next round.
