Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after edging out Dundee 1-2 in a tight Premiership clash. The visitors went in ahead at the break, having found the breakthrough before the interval, and that early goal set the tone. Dundee huffed and puffed after the restart, throwing bodies forward in search of an equaliser, but Hibernian looked the more composed side when it mattered and doubled their lead before the home side pulled one back late on. By then it was too little, too late for Dundee, who couldn't find a way through a second time. The defeat leaves them with plenty to think about after a below-par home display, while Hibernian will head back down the road buoyed by a result that shows they can grind out wins even when not at their fluent best. Three points is three points at this stage of the season.
