Ballymena United win 1-0 at second-placed Cliftonville in the Irish Premiership as Carrick Rangers and Portadown stun Crusaders and Glentoran.
Ballymena United beat Cliftonville 1-0 at Solitude on Saturday to move level on points with the second-placed Reds in the Irish Premiership table.
Meanwhile Shay McCartan's second-half penalty and a Ryan Mayse strike deep in stoppage time saw Portadown secure a 2-0 success over Glentoran at the Oval, a result which saw them leapfrog their opponents in the league table.Dungannon Swifts brought to an end a run of three successive league losses by seeing off Glenavon 2-0 at Stangmore Park, making it six top flight outings without a win for Stephen McDonnell's side.
But the visitors did break the deadlock on 70 minutes when Scott cut in from the left and his low- fizzing shot beat David Odumosu at the near post. However it was 3-0 on the hour mark when McGuckin's header from a Kyle Cherry free-kick was punched away by stopper Tuffey, but only as far as the edge of the box where Heatley’s first time finish doubled the attacking midfielder’s tally for the afternoon.Highlights: Glentoran v Portadown
Fyfe then hit the upright with a header from two yards from a Ryan Mayse cross, before the Glens almost grabbed the opener at the other end on the stroke of half-time. McCartan dusted himself down before sending Gyollai the wrong way and tucking the ball into the bottom-right hand corner. Coleraine wasted no time in hitting the front, leading goalscorer Shevlin on target with his 11th league goal of the season after just five minutes.
There was still time for a third just minutes later as McGonigle this time turned provider, crossing for Campbell to get in front of his maker to slot home from close range.
