Four goals, three points and a clean sheet. It's a good day all round. 

Gaston makes a excellent one handed to save push away MacKenzie's shot. 

Into added time. 

Man of the Match: Aidan Fitzpatrick

Two in two minutes for Thistle and Tomi Adeloye. Milne with the assist this time who squares for Adeloye to tap home. 

Third time lucky for Adeloye. Fitzpatrick slips the ball through to Robinson who cuts back for Adeloye to fire home from 6 yards out. Thistle cruising now. 

Fitzpatrick brushes past a tiring defender but on this occasion can only hit the side netting. 

Another chance for Adeloye. This one slips wide of the post. 

A lovely pass from Neilson releases Milne down the left. He sends over an inch perfect cross that Adeloye fires high over the bar.

The referee isn't winning any popularity polls at the moment with a series of decisions against Thistle. 

An Arbroath clearance goes over the Colin Weir stand. Suspect we won't see that ball again. 

The referee seems to want to wait until the substituted Arbroath player is home in bed before he will allow the corner to be taken. When it finally is a tame header goes over the Thistle bar. 

McInroy bursts into the box and plays a ball across the face of goal that Alston can't reach to get a touch to. 

The corner is knocked behind for an Arbroath goal kick. 

McMillan nearly squeezes the ball home from a tight angle but Thistle have to settle for a corner. 

Jacobs tests Sneddon with a shot but the Thistle keeper is well placed and comfortably saves. 

Another tight angle and another Fitzpatrick goal. This one is a low shot across Gaston and into the far corner. Thistle with the cushion of a two goal lead. 

The corner is dealt with but Arbroath have a throw down by the Thistle corner flag. 

We're back underway. No changes at the break from either side. 

Bran Graham's 10th league goal of the season is enough to give Thistle a half-time lead. 

Thistle have come close to a second, especially as half-time approached, but have  not had things all their own way. Arbroath have enjoyed long spells of possession and look a threat at set plays. 

Into first half additional time. 

Good stop from Gaston who makes himself a big target to beat and blocks Fitzpatrick's effort after he brings the ball on to his left foot. 

It's a short corner this time and when Lawless delivers it is cleared. 

Fitzpatrick's corner is cleared. 

Hamilton gets his head to the corner but his header isn't remotely threatening the Thistle goal. 

A teasing cross from Lawless is a shade too close to Gaston who collects ahead of Alston. 

Milne lifts a pass over the Arbroath defence to find Graham but once more the flag is up for offside. 

A shot from Lyon from outside the box is straight at Sneddon. 

McIntosh is fouled wide on the left and Arbroath have a free kick in a dangerous position. It's a poor free kick though and Sneddon makes an easy catch. 

An Arbroath free kick from the right is delivered deep into the Thistle box. Nobody can get a touch to it, and Thistle have a goal kick. 

Sneddon produces a fine stop to keep out Bird's deflected shot. 

Fitzpatrick starts and nearly finishes a move. He passes to Lawless who returns the pass. Fitzpatrick though can't get enough elevation on his chipped effort to beat Gaston. 

A lovely pass from McInroy puts Fitzpatrick clear on goal. The flag goes up for offside thought. That looked tight. 

First blood to Thistle. Graham is on the end of a long pass from McMillan. It looks as if Gaston might get to it first but Graham wins the race, takes the ball past the keeper and from an angle rolls the ball home. 

There is a push on Graham as Jacobs' corner comes over and Thistle have a free kick. 

Thistle break quickly after clearing the corner but Fitzpatrick's cross from the right is blocked. 

Break in play for an Arbroath player to receive a spot of treatment. 

A crisp effort from outside the box from McIntosh has Sneddon scrambling to save to his right hand post. The Thistle keeper makes a good, clean save. 

Graham is knocked the ground as he tires to get on the end of a Muirhead cross but the flag is up for offside. 

First effort on goal comes from the visitors but Stowe's shot clears the bar by some distance. 

Thistle get the game underway and are shooting towards The John Lambie stand in the first half. 

After having started 2024 with a win, Thistle will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins to start the New Year. 

There is just one change to the starting eleven that defeated Queen's Park on Tuesday. 

Ben Stanway misses out with an injury and Blair Alston starts in his place. 

Morning signing Ross Stewart is listed among the 9 substitutes.
