Celtic secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Parkhead to preserve their flawless start to the Scottish Premiership season. The win, reported by sports.yahoo.com, extends the Hoops' lead at the summit to five points and keeps their 100% record intact after five matches.
Camilo Durán opened the scoring with a powerful strike. "I found half a yard of space at the edge of the box before unleashing a venomous strike which flew past Marius Müller in the Aberdeen goal and into the top corner, giving the hosts an early lead," Durán said. Benjamin Nygren doubled the advantage after the Dons' defence failed to clear, and Yang Hyun-jun added a third before the interval following a defensive mix-up.

Haissem Hassan could not get clean contact on a close-range effort, while Ayoub Mouloua headed off target. Gavin Molloy came closest for the visitors when his header rattled the Celtic crossbar.
