Hibernian moved up to fourth place in the Championship with a win that sends Livingston to the bottom of the table.

On a wet evening in West Lothian, Dominique Malonga profited from a Darren Jamieson fumble to shoot home.

Danny Handling curled in a precise second goal from the edge of the box and Dylan McGeouch converted a penalty after a foul on Jason Cummings.

Paul Heffernan completed the scoring when he slid in to finish off a low delivery from Lewis Stevenson.

Substitute Heffernan had only been on the park for a minute before he completed what was a comfortable victory, which extends the Edinburgh side's unbeaten run to five games.

Hibs enjoyed the bulk of possession, with Livi rarely threatening, but it needed a goalkeeping error to break the deadlock.

Jamieson dropped a cross from McGeouch, leaving Malonga with an easy finish on 31 minutes.

And Hibs came close to doubling their lead on the stroke of half time when Scott Allan's shot cannoned against the post.

The second goal arrived eight minutes after the restart when Handling gathered a clumsy touch from Cummings and waltzed past a defender before finding the bottom corner with a measured finish.

Handling's strike knocked the wind out of the hosts who had come very close to levelling the game just minutes before.

Kyle Jacobs powered in a header from a corner and Mark Oxley made a great diving save, with David Gray completing the clearance with a hack off the goal-line.

Hibs were finding more and more gaps on the break and Cummings was upended by Craig Sives as he stumbled into the box from the right, allowing McGeouch to slam in the spot-kick after a short dispute with the striker over who should take the penalty.

Heffernan replaced Cummings late in the game and wasted not time making an impact, rounding off a good evening for Alan Stubbs' men.
