Livingston kept up their fine form with a 2-0 victory over fellow Scottish Championship promotion hopefuls Partick Thistle.

The Lions took the lead in the seventh minute when a cross from the right reached Tete Yengi, who headed straight at Myles Roberts and the ball bobbled underneath the goalkeeper to trickle into the net.

Thistle skipper Brian Graham came close with some dangerous shots that flew wide and he had another brilliant chance after the break with a header over the crossbar.

Livingston extended their lead in the 69th minute when substitute Robbie Muirhead made an instant impact, finishing off a well-worked team move around the box to nod past Roberts into the bottom corner and extend his side’s unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions.
