Jim Goodwin apologises for Aberdeen's 'unacceptable' start but left scratching his head after Livingston loss

Jim Goodwin has apologised to the Aberdeen fans for an 'unacceptable' opening 20 minutes against Livingston. But insists his players have nothing to be sorry for regarding their second half display.

Jack Fitzwater gave the Lions the lead before Sean kelly's spot-kick doubled the advantage. After half-an-hour, the Dons could count themselves lucky to only be two goals down. They had a huge chance to reduce the arrears when they were awarded a late first half penalty of their own. However, Bojan Miovski saw his spot kick and the rebound saved by Shamal George.

When VAR concluded that a third of the match should be awarded for a handball after the break, it was Goodwin's side who were the beneficiaries again. This time, Duk Lopes picked up the ball and succeeded where his strike partner failed, slotting home from 12 yards. But the Portuguese, as well as Miovski, was wasteful in front of goal as Livi held on to go level on points with their opponents.
