Bruce Anderson has scored three goals in four games for the Pars

On-loan Aberdeen striker Bruce Anderson's double gave Dunfermline Athletic a win that leaves Partick Thistle at the Championship's basement.

The Pars took the lead from a corner two minutes after half-time, Anderson with the decisive touch after Ryan Blair's delivery was not dealt with.

Another Blair corner led to the Pars' second goal as Danny Devine headed home.

Anderson wrapped up a convincing win with a close-range finish late on.

It was the 20-year-old's third goal in four games for the Pars, who move to within two points of fourth-top Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

After a second defeat in a row, Thistle remain behind Falkirk on goal difference but having played a game more.
