United late show steals it
Airdrie left it late to complete a dramatic comeback and claim all three points after downing 10-man Forfar 3-2.
Forfar's Christopher Templeman broke the deadlock after just 15 minutes, weaving his way into the area to tap home from six yards.
The Loons doubled their advantage three minutes later as Kevin Motion seized on Graham Gibson's crossfield ball to volley beyond Paul McKane from the edge of the area.
But Sean Lynch reduced the deficit shortly before the break as he collected William McLaren's pass to coolly beat Jamie Langfield,
and McLaren had the Diamonds level on the stroke of half-time, finishing Jamie Stevenson's looping cross at the near post.
Christopher Hegarty was then dismissed for a professional foul on Lynch in the 64th minute, but Stevenson was unable to make the resulting free-kick count, Langfield being equal to the task.
And the visitors' numerical advantage ultimately paid dividends three minutes into added time, substitute Scott Morton clipping home left-footed to seal a last-gasp victory.
