A stunning late strike from midfielder Willie Gibson earned Scottish League One leaders Stranraer a deserved win over Airdrieonians.
The home side came close to taking the lead when Sean Winter's header was well-held by goalkeeper Andy McNeil.
Stranraer continued to dominate and Steven Bell should have done better with a close-range header.
The Blues snatched the winner when Gibson let fly from long range to keep the Stair Park top of the table.
