The cinch Championship’s highest scorers Arbroath secured a third win in five matches with a 4-0 victory over Hamilton.

Scott Stewart broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time when Accies goalkeeper Ryan Fulton failed to gain a hold of the ball.

The situation got worse for the visitors when Jamie Hamilton was sent off for a high tackle on Stewart, who was playing a pivotal role.

Arbroath took full advantage with two goals in the last 10 minutes, with Stewart’s second assist of the game teeing up Joel Nouble to make it 3-0.

And Nicky Low rounded off the scoring with an 85th-minute 30-yard free-kick to lift Arbroath into third.
