Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors were on top before the break and led through their first-half goal, and that early spell of control proved crucial. Dundee huffed and puffed after the interval and did pull one back, but they never quite found the leveller their efforts probably deserved, and Hibernian held firm to see it out. For Dundee, it's another home game where the points have slipped away, and questions will be asked about how they let a winnable match get away from them. Hibernian, meanwhile, will be pleased with how they managed the closing stages once Dundee started pushing men forward. Three points on the road doesn't come easy in this league, and this one should give their squad a bit of momentum heading into the next round of fixtures.
