Livingston sunk by late winner from Dunfermline

Nov 17 2008

LIVINGSTON'S title hopes were dented after a heartbreaking late winner from promotion rivals Dunfermline.

Despite taking an early lead through James McPake, Livingston lost the early initiative.

Dunfermline struck back to overturn the lead through goals from Andy Kirk and Graham Bayne but Livingston forced their way back into the game immediately thanks to a close-range Calum Elliot effort.

As the game seemed to be heading towards a draw, Kirk struck his second goal of the match to ensure victory for the Pars and help his side leapfrog Livingston into second place.
