Spiders hit three late goals to win

Downfield looked dead and buried at home to Glenrothes, trailing 3-1 with 12 minutes left.

Paul Marr’s side, though, completed an impressive comeback with three late goals.

Phil Hagen gave the home side the lead only for Glens to equalise through Sean Simpson from the spot.

Goals from Jamie Leslie and Conor Schiavone saw the visitors look comfortable, but Downfield had other ideas and goals from Hagen again, Paul Blackwood and Richard Roy, on his debut, saw the home side take the points.

Thornton Hibs were impressive 2-0 winners at Kirriemuir Thistle, leaving Thistle boss Jim Finlayson admitting his side got what they deserved.

Stuart Drummond hit his first of the season on 14 minutes to give the visitors the lead and Garry Thomson scored a second just before the hour mark to secure the win.

St Andrews United’s bright start to the season came to an abrupt end with a 3-0 home defeat to 10-man Musselburgh at Barnetts Park.

Michael Moffat was sent off for the visitors on 35 minutes but it proved to be a positive for Burgh as Steve MacDonald opened the scoring a minute later.

Conor Thomson made it 2-0 on 56 minutes before goalmachine Mathu King made sure eight minutes later.

Tayport’s management team of Charlie King and Daryn Smith were left nonplussed after their side passed up 11 good chances as they went down 4-1 to Fauldhouse at the Canniepairt.

Currie gave the visitors an early lead after just four minutes and then David O’Donnell made it two from the spot after he had been fouled by Craig Sturrock.

Yami Misano made it 3-0 to United just before half-time with David Dunn scoring a fourth on 78 minutes.

Marc Ogg scored Port’s consolation from the spot with 10 minutes to go after Conor Ireland had been fouled.

Phil Hagen: scored twice as Spiders hit back to win.
