Ross County 2 (Sims, Dhanda)
Hibernian 2 (Maolida, Le Fondre)
Ross County scored a last-gasp equaliser to prevent back-to-back defeats against Hibernian.
The Staggies had gone in front in the 43rd minute through Josh Sims, who was left with a tap in at the back post from Simon Murray's cross, but Hibs would power back through first Myziane Maolida and then Adam Le Fondre to go 2-1 ahead.
That was not all, though, as in the 99th minute Yan Dhanda would pop up to convert Simon Murray's cross and salvage a point for the hosts in Dingwall.
The Staggies had what looked like a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the first half when they got a three-on-one advantage inside the Hibs half.
Josh Sims, however, could not pick out Eamonn Brophy in the middle – a moment that summed up the goal threat in the match to that point.
Hibernian suffered a blow when Lewis Miller was forced off through injury around 10 minutes before the interval, but they tried not to let that hamper them too much, with Will Fish sending the next attempt at goal wide of the mark before Myziana Maolida forced Wickens to dive to his right to keep the ball away from goal.
Just a couple of minutes before the interval, though, the Staggies took the lead.
Simon Murray's cross was initially aimed towards Connor Randall, but when David Marshall came out to try and collect it the ball flew past everyone to Josh Sims, who was left with a tap in at the back post.
The lead would be relatively short-lived, with Hibs pulling back level within 10 minutes of the restart.
Elie Youan slipped Maolida through on goal, and much like in the last match between the two sides he made no mistake in slotting past Wickens.
The visitors would dominate possession in the second half, making it difficult for County to reply, and so it was perhaps no surprise when Hibs took the lead in the 77th minute.
Jordan Obita put in an inch perfect cross for substitute Adam Le Fondre, who duly converted at the back post.
There would be one final twist in the tale though, as with practically the last kick of the ball Yan Dhanda announced his return from injury by finding the bottom corner when running on to Simon Murray's low cross.
