Kilmarnock 2 Dunfermline 0 as Ayrshire side edge closer to Championship title

dailyrecord.co.uk:

This was truly a KO performance (that’s K for Kyle and O for Oli) that saw the deadly scoring duo defeat the lowly Fifers to very much keep alive Kilmarnock’s hopes of winning the Championship.It was arguably one of the best performances of the season from Derek McInnes’ side, and but for a series of spectacular saves from goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, the scoreline could have been so very much more.There wasn’t really a weakness in the side, and right from the first whistle they set about their business in positive fashion.The Pars keeper produced his first spectacular save with only two minutes played, the goalie diving high to his left to divert Blair Alston’s powerful shot.Barely eight minutes later he was on the spot to keep out a Kyle Lafferty header with Brad Lyons crashing the rebound off the crossbar.But there was nothing Stolarczyk could do to stop Killie taking the lead on 25 minutes, Lafferty latching on to an Alston assist to stroke the ball into the net.Killie continued to dominate as the first half progressed, with the visitors struggling to gain any sort of foothold in the game.In the 32nd minute the Rugby Park side were awarded a free kick almost in exactly the same spot as Lafferty had scored from two weeks earlier against Partick Thistle, but any hopes of a repeat of that disappeared when his shot took a deflection off a Pars defender for a corner.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is
