Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday after edging out Dundee 1-2 in a Premiership clash that never quite settled into a rhythm. The visitors had the better of the first half and deservedly went in front, taking a 1-0 lead into the break. Dundee huffed and puffed without really testing their opponents, and the home support grew increasingly restless as half-time approached with nothing to show for their efforts. The second half was a different story, at least for a spell. Dundee came out with more urgency and got themselves back into the game, but Hibernian showed enough composure to see out the win. It finished 1-2, a result that will sting for the home side given how the game was there to be taken. For Hibernian, it's a solid away day and useful points on the board, while Dundee will need to find more consistency if they're to avoid a difficult season.
