However Falkirk were not finished there and after Dylan Tait bundled over in the box, Spencer stepped up converted from the spot and pulled one back for the visitors. Falkirk got a grip of the game shortly after and it didn’t take long until they found the equaliser as Dylan Tait’s strike put the bairns level three minutes before the interval.
Full of belief that they were back in the game and with three points at stake they were all but secured fifteen minutes from the end as substitute Alfie Agyeman sent the away fans wild to seal a dramatic comeback at Cappielow for Falkirk and to extend their unbeaten run to 42 games.
Falkirk return to league action after the international break as they travel to Airdrieonians on Saturday 14th September.
