Ross Stewart was unable to get Ross County level in Alloa

Ross County stay two points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship, despite suffering a second defeat in two league games at Alloa Athletic.

Dario Zanatta's strike curled sweetly into the net and moved bottom side Alloa to within two points of Falkirk.

Brian Graham, Michael Gardyne and Ross Stewart all had spurned for the leaders but they were spared by Dundee United losing at home to Queen of the South.

Alloa, meanwhile, remain three points from safety with six games to play.

Alloa Athletic manager Jim Goodwin: "That was a real team effort. It's our first clean sheet for a long time so I'm delighted with that.

"The players are loving life in the Championship and are willing to fight and scrap for every goal to maintain Championship status. We've been on a poor run and will take a lot of confidence from that win."

Ross County co-manager Steven Ferguson: "We're disappointed. We came here to win but will dust ourselves down and go again.

"Credit to Alloa, who made it really difficult for us. We feel it's a missed opportunity."
