Delighted Jim Goodwin praised his very own Duk of Hazard - as he got Aberdeen’s season back on track against St Johnstone.
The Cape Verde international netted two second half goals to fire the Dons to their first win of 2023 and ended their five match run without a victory. It was a timely win for Aberdeen who moved to within three points of Hearts and gave them a shot in the arm ahead of next weekend’s Viaplay Cup semi-final against Rangers.
Goodwin said: “I was really pleased for Duk to get back on the scoresheet. He’s a really good young player who hadn’t played a lot of senior football before coming to us. He has huge potential and has developed quicker than anticipated. But we’re not getting carried away and putting pressure on his shoulders. When you have a striker like Bojan Miovksi going through a barren spell, it’s good to have someone take on the mantle and be the match winner. I thought he was excellent."
