Aberdeen looked down and out at half-time of their top-of-the-table clash against Celtic.
But what a second-half performance and comeback they launched. At 2-0 down against the champions, many would have expected the home side to rack up more goals in the second half and then move away at the summit of the Premiership.
But the Dons refused to be beaten and dug in their heels, finding the net twice themselves with Ester Sokler on target after a lovely through ball by Jamie McGrath, and Graeme Shinnie finding the equaliser.
That means the sides are still to be separated in the league and keeps alive the debate over whether Aberdeen can keep challenging at the top.
Thelin and his Aberdeen team talk
The Dons were so much better after during the second period and competed when it may have been easy to throw in the towel.
So what changed? Any tweaks or just a good old-fashioned motivational chat from the manager?
Thelin told BBC Sportsound: “It was a really emotional game. We said at half-time ‘we have to calm down a little and come back to our strategy;. We needed to find a way and to do that was to be a little more true to ourselves.
“I think we have an amazing squad and team spirit. We have had some late winners this season, showing our never-give-in mentality. Also, the away support helped us to get this energy.
“These games are important and difficult. They are going to test us in every area of our game. The most important thing is that we stick together inside games and find ways to perform well. I’m happy with that.
“We only focus on the next game. We don’t focus on what happened already or the future. We now re-focus our energy for the game against Dundee United at Pittodrie.
“This support, we need it every game. We may have hard times and also good times. Togetherness is the most important thing.”
Aberdeen lay down title marker
It may have just been a draw but it was still a statement from Aberdeen as they stay joint top of the league.
Even the fashion they did it in, coming from two goals down, will be seen as a signal that they will not just be swatted aside by everyone’s favourite for the title and a side which has far more resources to utilise, having just signed an £11million player.
Going away to Parkhead and getting something is always a result for a Scottish side, but when you’re joint top of the Premiership with them after a decent chunk of games, it can mean all the more.
