Watch James Maddison’s brilliant late free-kick which earned Aberdeen all three points in the 2-1 win over Rangers

James Maddison scored a spectacular goal in the 90th minute to seal victory for Aberdeen in their 2-1 win over Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The 19-year-old midfielder, who joined Derek McInnes' side on loan from Norwich City on transfer deadline day, started the game on the bench but replaced Peter Pawlett at the interval. 

And the substitution paid dividends for the Dons, when Maddison's last-gasp free-kick secured the win for the hosts at the Pittodrie Stadium.

Aberdeen took the lead just a minute into the second half through Jonny Hayes, before Rangers pulled level when Andy Halliday converted a spot-kick 11 minutes from the end after Lee Wallace was brought down in the penalty area.

However, it wasn't to be for the visitors, as Maddison curled a set-piece home 20 seconds from stoppage time to move Aberdeen up to second in the Scottish Premiership table.
