Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were on top early doors and took a deserved lead into the break, going in 1-0 up at half-time after a game where they looked the sharper, more organised side. Dundee had their moments after the restart but couldn't find a way through until later on. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves something to work with, but Hibernian had already put enough distance between the sides and held on for the win. It's a result that will sting for Dundee, who will feel they had spells in this game where they could have taken something from it. For Hibernian, three points on the road is exactly the kind of result to build early-season confidence.
