Emerson Hyndman scores in Hibernian’s lopsided win

1 Shares

Emerson Hyndman’s time with Scottish Premier League side Hibernian has been streaky to say the least. However, the Bournemouth loanee made the most of his start on Saturday.

Hyndman started and played 66 minutes, while also scoring his first goal for the club in their 6-0 success over Hamilton Academic.

Already leading 2-0 through 34 minutes, Hibernian got a third goal of the first-half thanks to a clever finish by Hyndman. The 22-year-old received a pass from Stephen Mallan and slotted into the bottom-right corner.

It was Hyndman’s first domestic goal since March 2017, where he tallied for fellow SPFL side Rangers. The midfielder’s day would be cut short though as he was forced off with an injury.

The win moves Hibs to second in the league table on 17 points.

  1. I’m probably one of the few, but I always thought Scotland would be a great place for Hyndman to develop. As a youth international, you could see the intelligence and technical ability. But he was undersized and was on occasion physically pushed out of the game entirely. Not a guy who had a great future in the middle of the park unless he developed some physicality. And while the SPL is not the most elegant league, it is definitely a test in this regard.

    Will be interesting to learn exactly how Bournemouth sees his future. Already seems clear they will be spending another year in the EPL after this, and at that point Emo needs to be breaking into the first team or moving on.

  2. MAN OF THE MATCH

    EMERSON HYNDMAN stole the show on a day when ALL of Neil Lennon’s side impressed.

    It was always going to be tough for Lenny to replace John McGinn, Dylan McGeouch and Scott Allan but in Hyndman, Stevie Mallan and Mark Milligan he has gone a long way to doing so and Hyndman, who took his goal beautifully and was unlucky not to have scored at least one more, stood out here.
