Auchinleck Talbot continued their strong start to the season with a commanding 4-2 win away at Arthurlie in the West of Scotland Football League Premier Division.
It was the hosts who struck first after 14 minutes, but Talbot responded through a Ross Clark header on the half-hour mark to make it 1-1 at the break.
The second half belonged to the visitors. Kyle McAvoy put Talbot ahead in the 52nd minute after a smart move down the left, before Connor Boyd capitalised on a defensive mistake just six minutes later to extend the lead.
Arthurlie gave themselves hope with a scrappy goal from a corner in the 71st minute, but that was short-lived. Ewan Thomson restored Talbot’s two-goal cushion with a stunning solo effort in the 77th minute, and the visitors saw out the final stages with composed possession.
Ricky Kelly from Scoreboard Spotlight said: "Auchinleck Talbot showed their championship intent with a powerful second-half display. Goals from McAvoy, Boyd, and Thomson ensured the comeback after going behind early.
"Ross Clark’s first-half equaliser set the tone, but it was the attacking trio that dominated the second 45 minutes. Manager Tommy Sloan will be pleased with the squad depth as multiple subs came on to see out the win."
