Roberts is spot on for Ayr
Posted Saturday, September 18, 2010 by PA
Ayr's Mark Roberts scored a hat-trick of penalties to secure a 3-2 win against East Fife in an ill-tempered clash at Bayview Stadium.
The Fifers conceded the first penalty in the 13th minute when on-loan signing Stewart Murdoch was penalised for handball and Roberts scored.
A foul on the hosts' Lloyd Young gave Rob Sloan the opportunity to put his side level from the spot in the 28th minute.
And six minutes later, Kurtis Byrne netted with a neat close-range finish to give his side the advantage.
But the referee pointed to the spot again in first-half injury-time when Young brought down midfielder Scott McLaughlin and Roberts slotted home his second penalty.
There was still time for the Fifers` Robert Linn to be sent off for a poor challenge on William Easton.
And two minutes from time Roberts stepped up to score his and Ayr`s third goal from the penalty spot, and was then sent off for violent conduct.
