Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after edging out Dundee 1-2 in a tight Premiership clash. The visitors were the sharper side early on and deservedly went in at the break a goal to the good, having taken control in the first half and never really looking troubled at the back. Dundee needed a response after the interval and they got one of sorts, but it wasn't quite enough to turn things around. The home side pushed hard in the second half and got themselves back into it, but Hibernian held firm when it mattered and made the points safe. For Dundee, it's a frustrating afternoon on home soil and another game where a slow start proved costly. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take plenty of confidence from a professional away performance as the season builds.
