Ayr fight back to beat Hamilton and continue flying start to season

Ayr continued their winning start to the William Hill Championship season following a 3-2 comeback victory over Hamilton at Somerset Park.

Jamie Murphy opened the scoring for the hosts after just eight minutes before Oli Shaw hauled Hamilton level.

Jamie Barjonas then put the visitors in front at half-time when he struck with 38 minutes gone.

However, Marco Rus responded for Ayr when he scored his side’s second shortly after the interval with a fine strike.

George Oakley then netted the winner as the hosts retained their 100 per cent record. Hamilton have just one point from their first three matches.
