On this crucial relegation 6 pointers, Arbroath controlled the first half and took the lead from Donaldson header from a Cook freekick. But we created little and were unable to cope with Airdrie's two energetic subs. We lost shape and discipline, and laughable defending left us conceding 2 goals in 3 minutes. We never looked like equalising
BBC@ Trialist Keigan Parker scored the winner as Airdrieonians came from behind to record their first League One win since October.
Arbroath went in front after 24 minutes through Bradley Donaldson's bullet header from six yards.
But the bottom side hit back after 59 minutes when Caolan McAleer's corner was headed in by Gregor Buchanan.
And they were in front three minutes later when former St Johnstone striker Parker slotted in from close range.
