Hamill found the net in injury-time to give Kilmarnock a late win
By Martin Conaghan
Aberdeen lost their 100% record in the Scottish Premier League following a late win for Kilmarnock at Pittodrie.
Josh Magennis came close to scoring for the Dons in the opening minutes with a shot from eight yards out.
A late David Silva effort was tipped wide by Aberdeen keeper Mark Howard and Mahamadou Sissoko's shot for Killie was cleared off the line.
Kilmarnock's Jamie Hamill found the net in injury time with a cool strike after good work by James Dayton.
Aberdeen slip two places down to third in the league table after Rangers' win at home to St Johnstone, but the victory handed Kilmarnock their first points of the season following two defeats.
Magennis set up Peter Pawlett in the opening minutes to fire in from eight yards, but Killie keeper Cammy Bell smothered the shot.
Kilmarnock's first attempt on goal didn't arrive until almost 15 minutes into the match when Hamill blasted a long-range free-kick over the Aberdeen bar.
A Conor Sammon header gave Howard a fright in the Aberdeen goal after Hamill flighted in a looping free-kick, then Rory McArdle was blocked from close range after Paul Hartley curved the ball round the Kilmarnock wall with a free-kick of his own.
On the half-hour mark, Sammon produced a right-footed shot from the edge of the box that drifted wide, then Craig Bryson tried to break into the Aberdeen penalty area but failed to get the ball under control and ran out of steam.
McArdle saved Aberdeen's blushes when Sammon broke free in their penalty area and struck past Howard, but the former Rochdale man was on hand to clear off the line.
As half-time approached, Magennis tried to break the deadlock from 20 yards with a hopeful strike that sailed wildly over the bar.
Shortly after the restart, Darren Mackie shook off two Kilmarnock defenders and turned to shoot for goal, but the ball was deflected out for a corner.
Hartley delivered another hopeful free-kick from the edge of the Killie penalty area that Mackie headed wide.
Silva had the best opportunity of the match to open the scoring for Kilmarnock with 15 minutes remaining when he went one-on-one with Howard, but pulled the trigger too late and the big English keeper palmed the ball wide.
In the 80th minute, Hamill blasted a left-footed shot from 20 yards that Howard tipped over the bar, then Mackie cleared off the line from Sissoko's close-range effort.
At the other end, Mackie appeared to be denied a penalty kick when he went down under pressure, but referee Brian Winter was having none of it.
Aberdeen upped a gear in the dying minutes of the match, but it was too late to break the stalemate, then Dayton fed a cool lob to Hamill and the big midfielder collected before slotting into an empty net to claim the three points.
