Match ends, Airdrieonians 3, Ayr United 0.
Ayr United slipped to second bottom in Scottish League One after being humbled by Airdrieonians.
Bryan Prunty put the hosts ahead early on with a close-range header and doubled the advantage when his left-foot shot found the net.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Paul Slane was sent off for a challenge on Patrick Boyle.
And Kevin McKinlay's own goal completed a frustrating afternoon for the Honest Men.
