Dunfermline 1-1 Arbroath: Spoils are shared as both sides remain in bottom two

Dunfermline missed the chance to move out of the bottom two of the cinch Championship as they were held to a draw at home to struggling Arbroath.

There was nothing to separate the division’s also-rans as Thomas O’Brien’s equaliser earned a 1-1 draw for the rock-bottom visitors.

Malachi Fagan-Walcott’s first Dunfermline goal opened the scoring as he headed home a Josh Edwards free-kick.

Arbroath, however, left East End Park with a share of the spoils courtesy of captain O’Brien’s cool second-half finish.
