Ross County delivered a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Montrose in a Scottish League One fixture on Saturday. The win extends their perfect start to the season and solidifies their commanding lead at the top of the table.
Ross County sit first in League One with 25 points from nine games, now eight points clear of their nearest challengers. They scored five goals in the match against Montrose, with Ryan Docherty opening the scoring after 20 minutes. Ronan Chin doubled the lead five minutes later, and Kyle Phillips made it three just before the half-hour mark.
Brian Graham added a fourth shortly after the restart, and David Smith completed the rout with a quarter of an hour remaining, assisted by Alex Wright. Montrose had a chance to pull one back in the first half, but Gavin Oliver saw his penalty saved by Ross County goalkeeper Brian Foster.
Stuart Kettlewell's side were in control throughout, with the manager able to make five substitutions in the second half. The victory continues a remarkable run of form, with County now on a five-game winning streak in the league.
Looking ahead, County now turn their attention to the upcoming Challenge Cup tie and their next league clash. They face Forfar Athletic in the Challenge Cup on Tuesday before a return to league action.
