![Malachi Fagan-Walcott’s first Dunfermline goal was not enough to earn victory over bottom side Arbroath (Michael Regan/PA)](https://image.assets.pressassociation.io/v2/image/production/15b1bf050eb2639acf05ba05b1b38edeY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzA4Mjc2NzYx/2.59515620.jpg?rect=0,590,6599,3712&ext=.jpg&operations=fit(707:)&w=707&quality=100)
Dunfermline missed the chance to move out of the bottom two of the cinch Championship as they were held to a draw at home to struggling Arbroath.
There was nothing to separate the division’s also-rans as Thomas O’Brien’s equaliser earned a 1-1 draw for the rock-bottom visitors.
Malachi Fagan-Walcott’s first Dunfermline goal opened the scoring as he headed home a Josh Edwards free-kick.
Arbroath, however, left East End Park with a share of the spoils courtesy of captain O’Brien’s cool second-half finish.
