Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors had the better of the first half and led at the break through a goal that gave them a platform to build on. Dundee huffed and puffed after the interval, looking for a way back into the game, and got their reward when they pulled level. It didn't last long, though, as Hibernian responded almost immediately to restore their advantage and take control of the contest once more. That response proved decisive. Dundee pushed for a leveller in the closing stages but couldn't find the breakthrough, and Hibernian saw the game out to claim a hard-fought away win. For the home side, it's another frustrating afternoon in front of their own fans, while Hibernian will take real encouragement from finding a way to win after being pegged back. Small margins, but they went Hibernian's way this time.
