Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were the sharper side early on and took a deserved lead into the break, going in 0-1 up at half-time. Dundee needed a reaction after the interval and got one for a spell, but they couldn't find a way back level before Hibs made the game safe. The home side did pull one back and gave the closing stages some tension, but it wasn't enough to stop Hibernian holding on for the win. For Dundee, it's a frustrating afternoon in front of their own fans and another game where a slow start proved costly. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take plenty from this trip through to Tayside, picking up a result that keeps them ticking along nicely in the early weeks of the season.
