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 in the first half and deservedly went in ahead at the break, and they made that pressure count again after the interval to see the game out. Dundee had chances to get something from the match but couldn't find a way through often enough, and in the end the scoreline told the story fairly. For Hibernian this is exactly the sort of result that builds momentum, taking three points on the road against a side they'll have expected a tough afternoon from. Dundee will be disappointed to come away empty-handed at home, especially after finding themselves behind at half-time and having to chase the game. There's plenty of season left, but this defeat will sting for a while and questions will be asked about how they can turn narrow losses like this into points.
