Partick Thistle 1-0 Dunfermline – The Pars are level (Fitzpatrick 25’)

Partick Thistle pulled level with St Johnstone at the top of the Scottish Championship after a 1-0 win at home against Dunfermline.

The sides last met in September, a game that ended in a 2-0 win for the Pars, who kept a clean sheet that day. This time, though, Thistle came out on top.

The Maryhill side started strong and after just three minutes, Tsoanelo Letsoalo tried his luck with a strike from outside the box, but Billy Terrell was ready and held the shot in the centre of his goal.

Lennon’s men grew into the game and had their first real chance after 11 minutes. Charlie Gilmour lined up a shot from range, but it went over the bar.

The only goal of the match came in the 25th minute. Aiden Fitzpatrick picked up the ball outside the box and provided a right footed shot into the bottom right corner. It was the midfielder’s
second goal of the season, his first coming in August in a 3-1 win over Raith Rovers.

Dunfermline pushed for a way back into the game in the second half, but Thistle stayed firm at the back.

The win moves Wilson’s side level with St Johnstone at the top of the table on 34 points. Dunfermline
remain 5th with 22 points as they look to bounce back next week
