In this Premier League clash Dunfermline sought to reverse their 2-0 home defeat of the opening day of the season. Still without Andy Smith (suspended) the Pars should be looking for points off Motherwell if they are to serious mid tablers.

Only noteworthy incidents of the first half was the carrying off of three players - Petrie and McCulloch of the Pars and McMillan of `Well.

Owen COYLE hit two in the second half which knocked the stuffing out of Dunfermline. A solo effort after 61 minutes and a volley 9 minutes later. Andy Tod hit the bar on 78 minutes but this was the Pars best chance

With Dunfermline failing to score in their last three League matches Andy Smith’s return will be a welcome sight.
