Leaders held by Ayr
Posted Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by PA
Ten-man Dundee moved four points clear at the top of the First Division after drawing 1-1 with Ayr.
The leaders were quickly into their stride and Sean Higgins brought a fine stretching save out of Craig Samson in the Ayr goal.
And Dundee went ahead eight minutes before the break when the ball fell to Gary Harkins and he drove into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
But Ayr rallied and immediately levelled when Daniel Lafferty curled a delightful free-kick into the top corner after Steve Bowey had been fouled.
Harkins and Gary MacKenzie both had chances to restore the visitors' lead after the break before their task was made significantly harder with 15 minutes remaining when Eric Paton saw red for two yellows.
But it was still Dundee that made all the running and despite late pressure, they could not find a way through a dogged Ayr defence.
