Airdrie United 3 : 1 Forfar Athletic - Three-sy does it for Airdrie
Posted Saturday, March 26, 2011 by PA
Three first-half goals eased any lingering relegation worries for Airdrie as they claimed a 3-1 win against Forfar.
An own goal gave the home side the lead before Forfar levelled. Further strikes from Ryan McCord and Ryan Donnelly secured the win.
The home side went ahead in bizarre circumstances, with Graeme Owens' cross being turned into his own net by Forfar goalkeeper Scott Gallacher.
But promotion-chasing Forfar hit back 10 minutes later when Paul McQuade's spectacular 25-yard strike gave Airdrie goalkeeper Mark Ridgers no chance.
Airdrie regained the lead five minutes before the break when Mark McCulloch brought down Owens in the box and McCord made no mistake with the resulting spot-kick.
Things got better for Airdrie three minutes later when Donnelly headed in Gary Mackay-Steven's cross.
Forfar tried to rally in the second half but could not force the goal to make the home side nervous.
