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 better side early on and deservedly went in ahead at the break, having taken the lead before half-time. Dundee needed a response after the interval and they got a foothold in the game, but Hibernian always looked capable of finding a second, and that's exactly what happened. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves something to work with late on, but it wasn't enough to force a leveller. Dundee will be frustrated at falling behind so early and never quite recovering the initiative, while Hibernian will take real satisfaction from seeing out an away win on the road. For Dundee, it's another reminder that slow starts are proving costly this season.
