Summary

  1. Final whistlepublished at 17:29 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    That is all from us on a day when goals were at a premium.

    Glentoran needed a superb late goal from Danny Amos to get past Dungannon Swifts at the Oval as they cut the gap on Linfield to 17 points.

    Crusaders picked up an impressive 1-0 win away to Larne, whose hopes of retaining the Gibson Cup continue to fade.

    Meanwhile, Coleraine got back to winning ways with a narrow victory against Carrick Rangers.

    You can read the report from those games here with reaction and highlights to follow on the BBC Sport website.

    FT: Carrick Rangers 0-1 Coleraine

    Coleraine assistant manager Michael O'Connor on BBC Sportsound: "The last five or six games, we have played well and haven't got the results. You come to Carrick away, you have to roll your sleeves up, dig in and work hard and I think our players did that. I thought a scrappy goal would win it and Rhyss did that and we got that bit of luck."

    FT: Glentoran 1-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Three points and a clean sheet, the momentum continues to build for Glentoran.

    I thought there was an opportunity there for Dungannon, with Glentoran not being great I thought they would have went for it. There is nothing worse when you're playing for a point and the other team scores a last-minute winner and you go home with nothing and have maybe a bit of regret.

  4. 'Crusaders deserved the three points'published at 17:08 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    FT: Larne 0-1 Crusaders

    We can talk about how poor Larne were, but we have to give Crusaders credit for how organised they were and how well they defended. They played on the counter and played some lovely football and the substitutions made a difference. You saw a Crusaders team full of fight, full of desire and wanting to come here to get the three points and they deserved them.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:55 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Glentoran 1-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Daniel Amos' 90th minute strike does indeed win it for Glentoran, who close the gap on Linfield to 17 points in the Irish Premiership with two games in hand.

    Heart-breaking way to lose it for Dungannon, who might have deserved a point on the balance of the game.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Carrick Rangers 0-1 Coleraine

    All over at Taylors Avenue where Rhyss Campbell's eighth league goal of the season earns Coleraine all three points.

    Campbell bundled home Connor Murray's corner 15 minutes from full-time, a goal befitting of a game lacking in quality.

    The result moves the Bannsiders above Ballymena United while Carrick remain in 11th place.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Larne 0-1 Crusaders

    The travelling fans erupt as Tim Marshall brings to an end a win for Crusaders. Larne huffed and puffed but could not find a goal and Jordan Forsythe's first half strike is enough for Declan Caddell's men to overtake the champions into fourth.

    Another long throw is dealt with by Coleraine.

    Time almost up.

  11. 'Unbelievable strike'published at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Glentoran 1-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Tiernan Lynch
    Derry City manager and former Larne boss on Radio Ulster

    That was an unbelievable strike, he hasn't had the best of games, but that is a wonder strike! He only had one thing in his mind when the ball fell for him and he buried it in that far corner.

  12. Postpublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Carrick Rangers 0-1 Coleraine

    Jack O'Reilly fires a low right foot shot past Rory Brown's near post.

    Is that Carrick's last chance of grabbing a late equaliser?

  13. Postpublished at 16:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Larne 0-1 Crusaders

    Jacob Blaney could, and probably should, have wrapped it up on the break but drags his effort wide under pressure from Dylan Sloan.

    GOAL - Glentoran 1-0 Dungannon Swiftspublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Daniel Amos - 90 mins

    Oh my word what an absolutely stunning goal from Daniel Amos!

    Just as it looked as if both sides would be leaving with a point a piece, Amos has produced a moment of magic with an unstoppable strike in the 90th minute.

    The ball falls to the Glentoran left-back as he rifles his first-time effort into the top corner.

    Nothing Dungannon and Declan Dunne in goal can do about that one as Amos almost certainly wins it for the Glens with a 30-yard thunderbolt.

  15. 'Larne haven't done enough'published at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Larne 0-1 Crusaders

    Darren Murphy
    Sportsound summariser

    Larne haven't done enough in this half and in the whole 90 minutes, Gary Haveron will be so disappointed with this performance.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Mal Smith is replaced by youngster Rudi Little as Crusaders defend a corner well.

    Carrick Rangers 0-1 Coleraine

    Carrick Rangers throwing everything at Coleraine as they desperately seek an equaliser.

    Into four additional minutes.

    Carrick Rangers 0-1 Coleraine

    How close was that!

    Coleraine struggle to clear their lines from a Carrrick corner, the ball falling to Paul Heatley on the edge of the penalty area.

    The winger lashes the ball first time with his left foot, the ball just going the wrong side of the post.

    A let-off for Coleraine.

  19. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Larme 0-1 Crusaders

    Five added minutes at Inver Park. Give us a thumbs up if you think Larne can get an equaliser!

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

    Glentoran 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Referee Ian McNabb reaches for his pocket for the first time this afternoon as books Nathaniel Ferris.

    Dean Curry just beats Ferris to the ball and is fouled in the process by the Glentoran striker.
