Match Report


Ayr United and Dunfermline Athletic remain top and bottom of the Championship respectively following their 1-1 draw at East End Park.

Ewan Otoo fired the hosts in front with a powerful strike from outside the box that crashed in off the crossbar.

But seventeen-year-old defender Dylan Watret equalised for the visitors, scoring his first professional goal via a deflected effort.

Ayr had chances to win the game, with loanee Alfie Bavidge missing a one-on-one before Ethan Walker was denied by a fine Toby Oluwayemi save in stoppage-time.
