Feb 3 2008 Stefan Pavleski Reports

STENNY boss John Coughlin blasted his team's late horror show that gifted Arbroath a crucial victory.

Goals in the last 11 minutes from Paul Watson, Alan Brazil and Bryan Scott sealed the points for the visitors in a dire clash.

Coughlin fumed: "Our defending was really poor - some of the players looked like statues at times.

"To lose three goals late on is disappointing as there was nothing between the teams until that point."

A boring match produced few chances until Arbroath went in front in 79 minutes as Watson drilled a low shot past keeper John Hillcoat.

Brazil added a second moments later and Scott's neat finish sealed an important victory for the visitors.

Arbroath boss John McGlashan said: "It was a bad match but we finished strongly and I'm delighted with the win."
