United bucked-up a bit on the restart and Michael McGowan forced a smart save from Scott Fox with a near-post free-kick.
Ayr threw themselves a lifeline on 79 minutes when Andy Geggan’s long throw was flicked on by Robertson for substitute Adam Dodd to swivel and fire home. However, the home side ended with ten men when Dodd was red-carded for aiming a kick at Stephen O’Donnell.
Their misery was complete when Jags substitute Mark McGuigan scored in stoppage time.
