Ryan Hardie scored a stoppage-time winner as in-form Livingston continued their pursuit of Ladbrokes Championship leaders St Mirren with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Dundee United.
Livingston took a 22nd-minute lead when Scott Robinson fired home from the edge of the area but they were pegged back in the 75th minute when Matty Smith netted his first league goal for United.
That equaliser looked set to see the spoils shared at Tony Macaroni Arena, but Hardie scored right at the death to earn Livi a fifth win in their last six league games.
It allowed them to close the gap on St Mirren to eight points, having thrashed the pacesetters 4-1 last weekend with Hardie netting twice and Robinson also on the mark.
United, meanwhile, have lost four of their last six matches and, while they remain third for now, they fall six points behind Livi.
