Hibernian missed the opportunity to move into the top six of the Scottish Premiership as they let a two-goal lead slip at home against Ross County. Despite taking the lead through Elie Youan's deflected effort and doubling their advantage with Jair Tavares' first goal for the club, Hibs were pegged back by County, who scored twice to secure a draw. The result leaves Hibs in eighth place and County in ninth.
Hibernian passed up the chance to move into the Scottish Premiership 's top six by surrendering a two-goal lead at home to Ross County in a thrilling draw at Easter Road.
In a first half lacking serious cutting edge, Elie Youan's long-range effort deflected fortuitously off Ben Purrington to give the hosts the lead just three minutes before the break. Hibs doubled their lead shortly after the interval as Dylan Levitt's clipped ball over the top was latched on to by Jair Tavares, who carried the ball into the visiting box and slammed in his first goal for the club.
But Yan Dhanda's introduction orchestrated a County comeback as the substitute's cross was diverted by Allan Delferriere into his own net before the midfielder played a key role in Jordan White's stunning leveller. The point means Hibs - who go to Hampden on Saturday to face Aberdeen for a place in the Viaplay Cup final - stay eighth, while County move up to ninth.Attempt saved.
