Celtic have claimed an emphatic 3-0 win over Aberdeen in Wednesday night's Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie.

In the battle between the top two sides in the league, Brendan Rodgers's charges outlined their title credentials with a rampant display against the Dons.

The deadlock was broken just 13 minutes into the match when Moussa Dembele beat Kari Arnason for pace and whipped a ball across the penalty area that Kieran Tierney fired home off the underside of the bar.

Celtic's breakthrough came through their first attack of the game and, although Aberdeen nearly equalised almost immediately through Stevie May's driven effort which went just wide, the Hoops continue to lay siege to the hosts' goal.

The visitors eventually got their second on 39 minutes when Tierney got the better of Shay Logan and curled a cross to the back post, which Dembele volleyed home from close range.

Celtic continued to impress after the break and killed the game off as a contest shortly after the hour, with Dedryck Boyata heading down a Stuart Armstrong free kick for Dembele to head beyond Joe Lewis in the Dons net.
