Three minutes later Cowdenbeath had turned the game on its head when they took the lead with a neat Kane Hemmings finish from 12 yards.
Falkirk fought hard for the equaliser but Cowdenbeath claimed a two-goal advantage in the 73rd minute when defender Armstrong netted his second of the game from a Scott Linton cut-back.
Stevenson wrapped up the win with 25-yard free-kick in the last minute.
