Posted Saturday, November 13, 2010 by PA

Allan Walker's injury-time header was enough to earn Scottish Division One leaders Raith a dramatic 2-2 draw which ended 10-man Dunfermline's 100% home record.

With 19 minutes gone William Gibson's cross from the right found Patrick Clarke who made no mistake from six yards to put Dunfermline in front.

The goal buoyed the home side and in the 31st minute they doubled their lead in spectacular fashion through a fine 25-yard effort from Calum Woods.

Five minutes before the break Dunfermline had a good chance to make it 3-0 but Andy Kirk headed over from Gibson's corner.

Kirk sent another effort wide after half-time as the home side continued to make the best chances.

Raith burst into life and Iain Davidson headed wide from close range before Dunfermline's Neil McGregor saw red for a second booking with 18 minutes remaining.

In the 84th minute Davidson pulled a goal back for the visitors from close range before seeing another effort cannon off the bar minutes later.

Dunfermline looked to be heading for the top of the table but in the dying moments Willie Dyer's cross found Walker who headed home from 12 yards.
