Hibernian left Dens Park on Sunday with all three points after a 1-2 win over Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, and it was the visitors who set the tone early. They went in at the break a goal to the good, controlling the key moments when it mattered, and that half-time lead gave them something to defend for the rest of the afternoon. Dundee pushed hard after the interval and got themselves back into it, but Hibernian had the answers when needed and made sure the points didn't slip away. The home side will be frustrated with how slow they were out of the traps, given the fight they showed later on. For Hibernian, it's a result that should lift confidence going into the coming weeks, while Dundee will need to find a sharper start next time out.
