Linfield 'very good' in victory over Reds - Healy

Kyle McClean celebrates scoring Linfield's equaliser against Cliftonville

Linfield manager David Healy says his team deserved their 2-1 comeback victory over Cliftonville at Windsor Park.

Chris Shields saw his penalty saved by Reds keeper David Odumosu before Joe Gormley put the the visitors in front on 76 minutes.

The leaders fought back and hit two goals in two minutes to win it with substitute Kyle McClean levelling before Matthew Fitzpatrick fired home the winner.

"I thought we were very good - we found ourselves behind to a typical Joe Gormley goal," said Healy.

"So we reponded. The first goal was well-worked with Kyle McClean getting a fantastic equaliser and then the ground became energised and the players re-energised.

"The winner was a wonderful goal. Kyle came on and played a huge part in the goal and Fitzy [Fitzpatrick] popped up with the winner. We were fully deserving of the three points."

Linfield are sitting pretty at the Premiership summit with the victory extending their lead to 16 points.

Healy made clear that it's all about clocking up the points at this stage of the season.

"A lot of people outside Linfield question our performances yet the results have been good.

"Sometimes I question performances but the most important thing, certainly at this stage, is the three points."
