Johnstone Burgh boss Jamie McKim described a late Arthurlie tackle as an “absolute disgrace” as his side came within minutes of dishing out their in-form rivals a first league defeat.
A hard-fought Renfrewshire derby at Keanie Park looked to be heading in Burgh’s favour after Danny McBeth’s clinical second half header put the hosts in front.
With ten minutes left on the clock Brian Connor suffered a heavy challenge, with the offending Arthurlie player receiving a yellow card.
