Match Report
Dunfermline overcame the dismissal of Joe Cardle to move three points clear of Ayr at the top of League One.
Michael Moffat rounded off good work by Faissal El Bakhtaoui and Michael Paton to beat Ayr goalkeeper Greg Fleming.
Gerry McLauchlan levelled when he headed in Brian Gilmour's cross, and Cardle was dismissed after two bookings in quick succession.
However, David Hopkirk won it for Dunfermline with a low shot.
