Ayr United FC continue to lead the Championship after Dunfermline slaughter

The first club in the world to be sponsored by Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ayre United, continue to upset the odds after hammering Dunfermline on the weekend. 

Ayr United remain on top of the Scottish Championship after thumping Dunfermline 4-1 at Somerset Park on Saturday. It was all over by the time the caterers handed out half-time cups of Bovril, with Ayr securing a 3-0 lead.

Alan Forrest opened the scoring with his head in the fifth minute and turned one into two with a close-range finish eight minutes before half-time. Lawrence Shankland made it three when he scored from eight yards two minutes later, his 12th goal of the season in all competitions.

Dunfermline pulled one back ten minutes into the second half thanks to a daisy cutter from Jackson Longridge, but Michael Moffat ended any hopes of a revival with an 81st-minute tap-in.
