Hibs have lost to a Dundee United side without a win since January as the Hibees torrid run continues.
Lee Johnson's men went close in the first ten minutes through Kevin Nisbet who agonisingly watched his strike go wide. Moments later it was former Hibs man Steven Fletcher who stung his old side with a nice header in to the corner. Hibs could not mount a decent first half comeback and in the second period, United looked the more likely with Fletcher missing a big chance.
Hibs huffed and puffed and eventually blew the house down when substitute Mykola Kukharevych chested down and fired in a top finish to bring the game level. Nisbet then rattled the bar in what would have been a stunning winner. Hibs shot themselves in the foot when Will Fish clattered in to Fletcher and Jamie McGrath converted the spot-kick to deal Hibs a hammer blow.
