Match Report
Ayr United remained top of Scottish League One by three points with a 3-2 victory over Albion Rovers.
At Somerset Park, Craig Moore's 16th-minute effort gave the league leaders the advantage, but it was one they held for only nine minutes, with Sean Higgins levelling.
With 17 minutes to play, Lawrence Shankland had the hosts ahead again, and although Alan Trouten levelled in the 75th minute, Chris Higgins ended an exciting four minutes with Ayr's winner.
