Hibernian left Dens Park with all three points on Sunday after edging out Dundee 1-2 in a tight Premiership clash. The visitors were ahead at the break, having taken the lead in the first half to go in 0-1 up at half-time, and that early platform proved crucial. Dundee huffed and puffed for long spells but couldn't find a way back into it until late on, and by then Hibernian had already done the hard work needed to see the game out. The home side did pull one back to make things interesting, but a second Hibernian goal settled matters and confirmed the away win. For Dundee, it's a frustrating afternoon on home turf and another game where a slow start proved costly. Hibernian, on the other hand, will be pleased with how they managed the contest after going ahead early, taking the sort of professional, controlled win that goes a long way over a long season.
