Scottish League One: Brechin City 1-2 Dunfermline Athletic

Dunfermline Athletic remain eight points clear at the top of Scottish League One after edging out struggling Brechin City.

Josh Falkingham's side-footed finish put the Pars ahead, but Brechin levelled when Robert Thomson headed home Willie Dyer's corner.

Ben Richards-Everton slotted in from close range following Michael Paton's free-kick just before the break.

The Pars wasted chances before City's Andy Jackson had a late effort saved.
