Josh Archer - 62 mins

The Blues double their lead and it's Josh Archer who finds the back of the net!

Both Chris McKee and Cameron Ballantyne had at least one shot each blocked inside the area before the ball falls to Archer who turns, shoots and scores Linfield's second goal of the afternoon.

Archer might have got a bit of good fortune via a deflection as the ball loops over Declan Dunne and into the back of the net.

Crusaders 0-2 Glentoran

Unlike the start of the first half, this game has failed to come to life after the restart with very few chances so far.

Will either manager turn to their bench again soon to try spark this game to life?

Coleraine 1-1 Larne

This game has really failed to spark into life - strange when you consider both sides still have aspirations of finishing second in the table.

CLOSE!published at 16:11 British Summer Time 12 April

Cliftonville 0-0 Glenavon

Another burst of energy from Shea Kearney, who combines quickly with Kris Lowe from the throw-in before accelerating into space.

Kearney tries an audacious effort with the outside of his boot, but it bends wide of the far post.

Bright start to the half from the Reds' midfielder – he's looking lively.
