It was a disastrous day at the office for Livingston as they not only lost 4-1 at home to Hibs but also saw defender Jack Fitzwater sent-off and lost both Ayo Obileye and Stephane Omeonga to injury before boss David Martindale also saw red in the closing stages.
The hosts started the game brightly and opened the scoring thanks to Joel Nouble's wonderful strike on 10 minutes but a calamitous equaliser just before the half-hour mark led to a complete change in momentum.
Elie Youan raced behind a static defence to slot beyond Shamal George before sending the visitors in front before the break with a deflected effort that managed to sneak inside the far corner.
