That is all from us as leaders Linfield stretched their lead at the top of the table and their unbeaten run in the league to 11 games with a hard-fought win against 10-man Larne.

Andy Ryan was sent off in the first half, with Kieran Offord netting the winner in the second to seal the win.

Linfield move 20 points clear at the top of the Irish Premiership with a 1-0 win over 10-man Larne.

The visitors went down to 10-men just before the break as Andy Ryan was sent off for his challenge on Kyle McClean.

Kieran Offord won it for the Blues with his first goal in Linfield colours since his January move from St Mirren following a loan spell at Crusaders for the first half of the season.

The fourth official has indicated a minimum of four additional minutes.

Three changes at once too as Charlie Allen and Josh Archer come on for Linfield for Kieran Offord and Callumn Morrison, meanwhile Conor McKendry comes on for the visitors as he replaces Dylan Sloan.

Callumn Morrison almost catches Rohan Ferguson out from a tight angle but the Larne goalkeeper gets a hand to it to deny Linfield's January signing from Falkirk.

Callumn Morrison flashes a cross across the box, with Kieran Offord inches away from getting a toe on it .

Rohan Ferguson then makes a smart save to deny Ethan McGee from a tight angle as his effort looked like it had a chance of sailing into the top corner.

The Blues are continuing to dominate proceedings with their man advantage, but have been unable to create much in the way of clear cut chances since going a goal up.

Cynical foul from Aaron Donnelly who takes one for his team as he bundles Jamie Mulgrew to ground as Linfield were breaking forward with intent.

Chris Shields is the latest player to go in referee Shane Andrews' notebook.

Very little action in the second half apart from Kieran Offord's goal.

The hosts remain the team on top as they go in search of a second goal that would surely win it at this stage.

That being said, the Blues have created very little.

Can the champions somehow find a way back into this one despite being a goal and a man down?

Another injury problem for the Blues as it looks like Euan East requires treatment.

Ethan McGee is stripped and ready and will replace the Linfield defend in his left-back position.

Chris McKee looks to have picked up an injury as he is replaced by Jamie Mulgrew.

That's David Healy's first substitution of the evening.

Andy Ryan was controversially sent off in the first half for this challenge on Kyle McClean.

Wasteful from Kieran Offord who tries to pick out Callumn Morrison at the back post, but instead crosses over the crossbar for a Larne goal kick.

20 minutes left on the clock as Linfield still lead 10-man Larne 1-0.

No doubt the goal from a Larne perspective is preventable. Offord is always looking to put defenders under pressure, but that is a foul on Nolan, he barged him in the back.

Shouts of 'forward' from the Linfield fans as they urge their team to attack Larne with a bit more intent.

It seems far too pedestrian from the Blues who are yet to make their man advantage count.

Another Linfield free-kick in a dangerous area comes to nothing, as Kieran Offord this time shoots wide of the near post after Larne only half clear.

The Blues are enjoying the vast majority of the ball now, trying to use their man advantage to break the visitors down.

So far, they have been unable to do that.

Just over half an hour left on the clock.

Sam Roscoe meets Kyle McClean's free-kick with his head, but can't divert his effort on target as it glances past the far post with Rohan Ferguson worried for a split second.
