It's right on the edge of the Cove box, and Josh Mullin is lining it up... GOAL Cove 0-4 AyrFraser BrydenStrikeeeee! This is an infinitely harder chance for the young man, but he takes it with real aplomb. The 18-year old picks up possession on the edge of the box, shifts it onto his left foot and fires a wonderful strike into the top corner, beyond the despairing dive of Scott Fox. "He's one of our own, " sing the Ayr fans.
"Dipo [Akinyemi's] been excellent this season - I love playing with him, because everyone gets attracted to him. My strength is my running power, and I can use that playing off Dipo. "We're back up here on Tuesday night - it's a massive game for the club to get to the next round of the Scottish Cup - we know it's Elgin in the next round. It was an all-round good performance, the manner in which we ended the game was impressive. "It puts that bit of pressure on Queen's Park and Dundee tomorrow. "Post updateFT: Cove 0-5 AyrPost updateFT: Cove 0-5 AyrPost updateFT: Cove 0-5 AyrHere are the two stunning goals that put the icing on the cake for Ayr...
Nearly a fourth for the visitors... Fraser Bryden, just on the park, is in space around the penalty spot, but his shot is deflected behind for a corner. Should have done better. There will be no goal for Dipo Akinyemi tonight, as he is substituted. It's the first time this season that he's gone four league games without finding the back of the net, but he led the line excellently for Ayr, running the channels and bringing his teammates into the game. Lee Bullen turns to his bench as he looks to see this game out with minimal dramas.
"Slowly but surely, our lads got a grip of the game. We do want to keep [Josh Mullin], but ultimately he's not our player. That's on Livingston, but we've got a few days to hopefully negotiate something. "Dipo's been outstanding - got a great assist, caused havoc and allowed Fraser to come on a nick a goal. It was a great finish, and I'm delighted to see him back. "It'll be nice to sit back tomorrow, and see what happens at Queen's Park-Dundee. "Win 'puts the pressure on Queen's Park and Dundee'FT: Cove 0-5 AyrPlayer of the Match Josh Mullin has been giving his thoughts to BBC Scotland: "It was nice to get the goals, but most importantly, it was good to get the three points.

Defensive woesFT: Cove 0-5 AyrThat's now 19 goals conceded by Cove in their last four league games. A deeply worrying statistic for Paul Hartley. A comprehensive win for Lee Bullen's side, who scored four wonderful goals in that second half. They move to within a point of Queen's Park at the top of the Scottish Championship, who they play next in the league. That will be tasty...
"Every mistake we made, they punished. A real lack of character, fight and determination. "If you're not playing well, you look for your team to make tackles, challenges, but we were too passive, too nice. "When you concede five goals, it's always concerning. Schoolboy defending at times tonight. "They're really good in training, but it's about taking that into the games. We need to make changes, we need some fresh blood in. It's not what you did in the past, forget that. We're in a relegation battle, no doubt about that.
"We face the same opponents on Tuesday night - they're a good team, and if you're not at the races, then you're not going to win games. We have to be better all over the pitch.

"It wasn't easy, the first half was tough, and we nicked a goal. Second half we upped the tempo, but I'm as pleased with the clean sheet as the five goals to be honest.

GOAL Cove 0-5 AyrJosh MullinTwo for Mullin, five for Ayr, and it's another beauty! He steps up, and whips the free-kick up and over the wall. It crashes in off the crossbar, which just makes goals look all the better. As the ball crossed the line, Mullin turned away and punched the air with delight - he enjoyed that one. A show of frustration from Iain Vigurs, who barges David Bangala to the ground from behind.
