Falkirk beat Livingston 2-1 to stay sixth in the Scottish Premiership, leaving the hosts bottom.

Kyrell Wilson put The Bairns ahead in the sixth minute, turning in Louie Marsh's pass from close range. Marsh then glanced a header home after Barney Stewart's nodded assist from a corner (25.).

After the restart, Connor McLennan halved the deficit with a low finish from Ryan McGowan's knockdown (47.). Jerome Prior thwarted Finn Yeats soon after, and Calvin Miller then struck the left post (66.).

McLennan later departed injured (70.), and The Bairns managed the closing stages as Scott Bain saved from Stevie May and held Robbie Muirhead's drive late on.

Livingston produced 10 attempts with three on target. The Bairns tallied 16 attempts and 55.8% possession.
