Dean Jarvis, just back from suspension after picking up five bookings, is shown a yellow card by referee Jamie Robinson for a foul on Dylan Connolly on the edge of the Coleraine penalty area.

The resulting free-kick is comfortably dealt with by Coleraine 'keeper Max little.

Watch Frankie Hvid rise highest in the area to head Glentoran into the lead against Coleraine with his third goal of the season.

We're back underway after a stoppage in play due to Mark Surgenor getting a blow to the head.

He is back on sporting a head bandage but you can still see a bit of claret coming from above his left eye.

Glentoran have giant goalkeeper Daniel Gyollai to thank for preserving their 1-0 lead.

A Jamie Glackin corner finds its way to Matthew Shevlin at the back post, six yards from goal.

The striker catches his volley perfectly, the ball looking for all the world as if it's heading towards the back of the net.

Gyollai reacts superbly, diving to his right, to turn Shevlin's shot round the post for a corner.

Matthew Fitzpatrick rifles home from six yards to give the leaders the lead at Windsor Park.

Charlie Allen shows some quite exquisite footwork, dancing past four or five Cliftonville players before floating a cross to the back post.

Matthew Fitzpatrick tries to get his head on the cross, but neither he nor Jonny Addis can as the ball evades them both.

Linfield certainly on top now.

Lewis Francis' header crashes off the crossbar before being cleared out of danger by Danny Wallace.

That was a huge chance for the away side to take the lead.

Ben Kennedy plays in Andy Scott who turns sharply and his fierce strike is too hot for Jonny Tuffey to hold and the ball goes behind for a fruitless corner.

Corner to Coleraine.

Can they respond to Glentoran's goal?

Enterprising work from David McDaid sees him get past Mark Surgenor and away down the left. His cutback to Matthew Snoddy is blocked behind by a combination of Kyle Cherry and Joe Crowe, who both threw themselves at him.

From the corner, Barney McKeown heads wide before Carrick go on the break but Seanan Clucas can't pick out Danny Gibson after a lung-busting run.

A flurry of action after 20 minutes.

Ballymena's Johnny McMurray picks up the first yellow card of the afternoon for a strong challenge on Robbie Weir.

Ballymena believe they are in front as Sean Brown's quick free kick puts Ben Kennedy in behind the Crusaders defence and he beats Jonny Tuffey with an angled shot but the assistant referee's raised flag cuts short the celebrations.

Free-kick to Glentoran in a dangerous position on the right of Coleraine's penalty area.

Again it's another great delivery from Kirk Millar - there's a bit of pinball in the box and Fitzpatrick buries it.

I'd glad to see him score as his work ethic is superb.

Kealan Dillon's free-kick from 35-yards is blocked by the Loughgall wall.

Robbie Norton is the first player to be cautioned for a high tackle on Kealan Dillon.

Dungannon now have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Opening quarter come and gone at the Showgrounds.

No clear cut chances for either team but lots of enterprise from both sets of players.

Ben Kennedy clearly handles the ball inside the Ballymena penalty area but referee Ross Dunlop adjudges the reason for that is because he has been pushed by an opponent and it's a free kick to the visitors and a chance to clear the danger.

Not a decision which has gone down terribly well with the home support.
