Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday after edging out Dundee 1-2 in a tight Premiership clash. The visitors went in ahead at the break, having taken a 1-0 lead into half-time, and looked the sharper side for long spells. Dundee huffed and puffed but couldn't find a way through until well into the second half, and by then Hibernian had already done the damage that mattered. The home side did pull one back and gave themselves a nervy finish, but it wasn't enough to salvage anything from the afternoon. For Dundee, it's another home game without a win to show for it, and questions will linger about how they let a lead in the tie slip away from the visitors so early. Hibernian, on the other hand, will take real confidence from digging out a result on the road against a side fighting for form.
