Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were the better side for long spells and led at the break thanks to a first-half goal, and while Dundee huffed and puffed after the interval, it was Hibernian who looked the sharper outfit for much of the contest. A second goal made the game safe before Dundee grabbed a late reply, but by then the damage was done. For Dundee, this is a result that will sting given how the game seemed to slip away from them after half-time. They'll need to find more consistency if they're to push up the table. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take plenty of confidence from this away win, having shown control for large parts and getting the job done despite a nervy finish. Three points on the road is exactly what they'll have wanted from this trip.
