Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were already ahead at the break, having found the net once in a half where Dundee never really got going. The home side came out with more purpose after the interval and got themselves level, but Hibernian had an answer ready and restored their lead soon enough to see the game out. For Dundee, it's another home game where they've come up just short, and questions will be asked about how they let a winnable match slip after showing signs of life in the second half. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take real satisfaction from digging out a result on the road against a team pushing back hard. Three points is three points, and this one moves them nicely up the table while leaving Dundee to regroup.
