Jamie Langfield earns clean sheet in Aberdeen testimonial

Goalkeeper Jamie Langfield starred on the day of his testimonial as Aberdeen beat Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 at Pittodrie.

Veteran goalkeeper Jamie Langfield kept a clean sheet on his Hearts testiomonial as the Scots beat Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 at Pittodrie this afternoon.

Adam Rooney's 75th-minute back-heel was enough to win a jovial affair that saw Langerfield honoured by the club with whom he has spent 10 years with.

Both outfits had chances early on, with Kazenga LuaLua denied by the man of the moment, while Michael Rose headed over for the Dons on 12 minutes.

The 35-year-old stopper continued to impress by tipping away Danny Holla's goal-bound free kick, before reproducing his heroics before the break by thwarting LuaLua yet again.

Clear-cut chances were soon at a premium after the break, but Rooney broke the deadlock with 15 minutes remaining with a tidy bit of improvisation to wow the home fans.

However, the celebrations were pale in comparison to those evident a number of minutes later when Langfield was announced as man of the match via the tannoy.

Not to be overshadowed by his Scottish counterpart, David Stockdale pulled off an impressive save in the closing minutes to keep out Kenny McLean's free kick as the hosts settled for the single-goal win.
