Dylan Easton had put Raith Rovers 2-0 up, but that feels like last weekend now...

What on earth is going on?
Blair Alston has the freedom of Kirkcaldy to burst in, unmarked, and slam home.
Goodness gracious me. The Championship, eh?
GOAL Raith Rovers 2-3 Partick Thistle
Blair Alston
Oh my word, I can't keep up!
A lovely header from Harry Milne as he gets up above his defender and lays it off beautifully Blair Alston, who slides it into the back of the net to put Thistle into the lead.

It's a magnificent response from Partick Thistle. It looked like Raith Rovers were well in control.

Thistle have their penalty now...
PENALTY APPEAL
Raith Rovers 2-1 Partick Thistle
The Thistle players are screaming for a handball in the Raith box there, but the referee is not having anything of it.
No luck for O'Reilly
Raith Rovers 2-1 Partick Thistle
James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland
He doesn't know much about it. It just hits off him. Cruel for him, but it's a lifeline for Partick Thistle.

How's your luck, Dan O'Reilly?
The Raith centre-half is experiencing the highs and lows of the game tonight...
GOAL Raith Rovers 2-1 Partick Thistle
OG Daniel O'Reilly
Oh my...
Well we have a game on our hands.
Kerr McInroy floats in the free-kick and there's not a lot Dan O'Reilly can do as the ball ricochets into the net.
Post update
Raith Rovers 2-0 Partick Thistle
Partick Thistle have a free kick in a really promising area.
Blair Alston steps up and tries the shot. He goes close but it was just too high and Raith get the goal kick.
'Brilliant' from Easton
Raith Rovers 2-0 Partick Thistle
James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland
Everything Kris Doolan said at half-time has gone straight out of the window. Sneddon's got no chance. It's brilliant again from Dylan Easton.

That epitomises Raith Rovers under Ian Murray!
It's all about the pressure they impose on the Thistle backline and then Dylan Easton... that's the kind of situation he dreams of. Dribble and drive.
Some start.
GOAL Raith Rovers 2-0 Partick Thistle
Dylan Easton
That was quick....
Dylan Easton takes the shot from just outside the box and fires it past all the bodies in the box and the diving Thistle goalkeeper, Jamie Sneddon.
The visitors have it all to do now.

It is chucking it down... and I have no hood.
You'd think I'd have learned by now...
