    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Coleraine

    All over at Stangmore Park where Coleraine come from behind to defeat Dungannon Swifts 2-1.

    The home side went in front inside the opening two minutes thanks to Kobei Moore's first league goal for the club but they were pegged back on the half hour when Joel Cooper blasted home his 18th of the campaign.

    And they scored wha proved to be the winning goal five minutes after the restart when Mark Coyle rifled home his first for the Bannsiders after joining in January.

    Joel Cooper, again breaking from deep, is denied by the feet of Alex Henderson with Jamie McGonigle screaming for a pass to his left.

    Will that come back to haunt the visitors?

    Danny Gibson (89 mins)

    The home side adds another as Danny Gibson gets the goal his performance deserves.

    He nips in ahead of a sluggish Jordan Forsythe to steal possession, driving toward the edge of the box before drilling a clinical low strike past the despairing reach of Jonny Tuffey.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:45 GMT

    Glentoran 1-1 Linfield

    Andrew Mills makes a stunning save to deny Ethan McGee from restoring Linfield's lead.

    Andy Ryan (86 mins)

    Larne double their lead in the closing stages as Jordan McEneff's corner is flicked on to the back post where Andy Ryan squeezes home a header with referee Mark Dillon adjudging that the ball had crossed the line before Reds keeper PJ Morrison claws it away.

    Some breathing space for the league leaders after being under pressure for much of this half.

  20. Postpublished at 16:44 GMT

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Coleraine

    A real collectors item as Joel Cooper misses the target one on one with the keeper.

    Released by Mark Coyle, Cooper outpaces the Dungannon defenders and bears down on goal.

    Alex Henderson races out to meet him and with the goal at his mercy Cooper misses the target completely.

    Not something you see often.
