Edinburgh City 3-1 Albion Rovers

Edinburgh City's Allan Smith
Allan Smith scored Edinburgh City's second goal

Edinburgh City took advantage of inaction in the rest of League Two to stretch their lead at the top.

George Newell headed Albion Rovers ahead, but they did not hold onto the lead for long before Allan Smith drew the home side level from six yards with a header of his own.

Jack Breen fired City into the lead before half-time and Blair Henderson made the points safe.

City go four clear, but have played two games more than Peterhead.
