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 took a deserved lead into the break, going in 0-1 up at half-time. Dundee needed a response after the interval and to their credit they came out with more purpose, but Hibernian always looked capable of finding an extra goal. That's exactly how it played out. Hibernian doubled their advantage before Dundee pulled one back late on to make it 1-2, but by then the damage had been done and there was no way back for the home side. It's a result that will sting for Dundee, who now have work to do to build any early-season momentum, while Hibernian will be pleased to head home with a away win under their belt.
