Michael Beale has heaped praise on Scott Arfield after his stunning Pittodrie rescue mission.
The Rangers supersub grabbed two goals in added-time to secure an incredible away win for the Light Blues as they made it successive back-to-back five goal thrillers under the new boss. Jim Goodwin's men looked like picking up a massive three points and in doing so all but ending any hopes of a title chase with Celtic for the Ibrox men but a stunning final couple of minutes sparked fresh life into the visitors and make it two from two since the World Cup shutdown return.
Fashion Sakala, who grabbed his second goal in two games, fired the away side ahead before a Duk free-kick and stunning Leighton Clarkson goal in the second period. Arfield was introduced as one of four changes on the hour and he fired home in the 94th minute and before the away fans could stop celebrating, he had netted an incredible winner to spark limbs in the away end and leave the home support in utter disbelief.

Reacting to the big result, Beale told Sky Sports: "Delighted with the result obviously. I would say it was probably ten out of ten for character and mentality and five out of ten for performance.
"First half I thought we started well and deservedly in front but it was a poor goal for us to give away. We were right on half-time. We had possesion. We give away a straight pass and give away a free-kick. To be fair to the boy he has took a well-struck goal.
"Start of the second half we didn't start and were deservedly 2-1 down. A great strike from the lad then we looked really anxious and weren't playing well at all.
"We made four changes and then Scott Arfield has come up trumps. I am delighted for him as it is very harsh he hasn't started either of the games so far. That's what Scotty does. He gambles and gets in the box and has come up trumps for us this evening."
