It's as you were at the top of the Premiership as leaders Larne, second-placed Linfield and Cliftonville secure victories on Saturday.

It's as you were at the top of the Premiership as leaders Larne, second-placed Linfield and Cliftonville secured victories on Saturday.

Bonis scored his second goal soon afterwards when he arrived in the six-yard box to drill Andy Ryan's low cross into the roof of the net. There was a further twist just before the interval when Larne defender Sean Graham was shown a second yellow card following an aerial challenge with Jack Malone. Linfield had their third five minutes before half-time as Millar made no mistake from the spot, before the hosts added a fourth as McClean's attempted cross took a huge deflection, diverting into the back of the net.

However, Nathaniel Ferris restored parity just before halftime. The frontman finished sharply after Robbie Norton's effort was saved onto the crossbar by David Odumosu, but Ferris was on hand to capitalize on the rebound, much to the jubilation of the home supporters. Shay McCartan took the resulting spot-kick and made no mistake firing past Declan Dunne, who had guessed the wrong way and dived to his right.

Crusaders started brightly but it was visitors Coleraine who broke the deadlock just before the half hour. Jordan Forsythe stepped up to blast home past Rory Brown to level. The home side pressed for a winner in the remaining minutes and Ben Kennedy was denied by the woodwork as his shot crashed off the crossbar.
