Ayr Utd. 3 : 1 Airdrie United - Rodgers inspires Ayr comeback
Posted Saturday, April 30, 2011 by PA
Andy Rodgers' brace helped promotion candidates Ayr come from behind to beat Airdrie 3-1 at Somerset Park ending their opponents play-off hopes.
Airdrie dominated the first half and came close after 33 minutes when Graeme Owens' 25-yarder hit a post.
The Diamonds finally went in front seven minutes into the second period Scott Morton heading home from inside the penalty area.
But their advantage only lasted a minute as Rodgers found the bottom corner from 30 yards out.
Rodgers then gave the home side the lead from the penalty spot on the hour-mark after Kieran Stallard's foul on Ross Robertson.
Michael Moffat then made it 3-1 five minutes later with a close-range finish after David Crawford's shot had hit the upright.
