Will Vaulks set up a goal before netting the winner as Falkirk beat Livingston in the Scottish Championship.

Danny Mullen equalised for Livi early in the second period, reacting quickest after a scramble in the box.
But Vaulks blasted in to secure victory for the Bairns and take them to within two points of the league's summit.
