Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday 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, having settled quicker and looked the more composed team throughout. Dundee needed a response after the interval and did show more urgency, but they couldn't find a way back level before Hibernian doubled their advantage. A late Dundee goal set up a nervy finish and gave the home support something to shout about, but it wasn't enough to salvage anything from the game. For Dundee, it's another home defeat to stew over, and questions will be asked about how they let the first half slip away so easily. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take real confidence from this one - a professional away performance that got the job done when it mattered.
