A superb second-half fightback earned Aberdeen all three Scottish Premiership points at Pittodrie and consigned Kilmarnock to a 10th straight game without a win.
Tyreece John-Jules put the visitors in front on 17 minutes with a lovely dinked finish over Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov, having been played clean through by James Brown.
Stuart Kettlewell’s beleaguered side edged the first half, but were unable to maintain it into the second period as they slowly retreated further and further towards their own box.
Eventually the pressure told as substitute Kenan Bilalovic swept home his first goal for the club to equalise, before a controversial penalty decision decided the contest.
A cross landed on Brad Lyons’ arm, with the Kilmarnock captain unsighted, and video assistant referee (VAR) John Beaton advised referee Ross Hardie to award a spot-kick.
Jesper Karlsson confidently found the bottom corner and Kilmarnock never looked like finding an equaliser.
