A bittersweet moment for the Reds as Ryan Markey makes his debut, replacing the injured Rory Donnelly.

The home faithful applaud Donnelly as he limps off, while welcoming Markey to the fray.

Can the young striker seize his opportunity and make an instant impact?

Dungannon's promising attack fizzles out as Adam Glenney's ambitious 30-yard effort sails high and wide.

At 2-0 down they [Glenavon] are clinging onto the game because if anyone is going to score you feel like it might be Linfield with a third and if that happens, then you fear for them.

The home support think their team has hit the front when Ryan Waide helps a Caolan McAleer effort into the net but he is flagged for offside. The half-hearted cheers perhaps tell their own story as there is little doubt about the decision.

Some more massive penalty appeals as Glenavon feel they should have another spot kick as the ball strikes Scott Whiteside's arm in the area.

It would have been a harsh one on the Blues defender, but Lurgan Blues fans will certainly feel hard done by as their second penalty claim of the night is waves away by referee Mark Dillon.

Lovely footwork from Matthew Shevlin sees the in-form striker skip past the challenges of two defenders on the edge of the Glentoran penalty area.

Unfortunately for him the finish isn't equal to the approach play as he blasts his left foot shot high over the crossbar.

Luke Conlan spots an opening from distance and has a crack at goal, but his shot lacks conviction.

It's a tame effort, straight down the throat of Declan Dunne, who gathers the ball with ease.

That is Cooper at his very best. I said earlier he is in a rich vein of form and his confidence is sky high, Millar likewise.

That's the deadly duo. Every time I think of Linfield as an attacking force, I think of those two.

A first card of the evening and it's yellow, flashed in the direction of Glentoran skipper Fuad Sule for a challenge on Coleraine midfielder Dylan Boyle.

Watch as Nathaniel Ferris brings Loughgall level with a scruffy equaliser.

Luke Conlan to the rescue!

Adam Glenny unleashes a thunderbolt from 12 yards, the ball destined for the back of the net, but Conlan throws himself in front of the shot, making a heroic block.

The Swifts must settle for a corner as Conlan's bravery keeps the Reds on level terms.

Another great opportunity for the hosts following a super team move.

Glentoran midfielder Cammy Palmer breaks the lines brilliantly before sliding an inch perfect pass into the feet of Jordan Jenkins.

The forward reaches the byline before pulling the ball back across goal where covering Coleraine defender Kyle McClelland is relieved to see his sliced clearance go out for a corner - and not into the back of his own net!

Still, promising stuff from Declan Devine's team.

The first yellow card of the evening goes to Crusaders' Robbie Weir who misjudges a through ball and then brings down Ben Kennedy five yards outside the penalty area.

The resultant free kick is deflected over the crossbar for a fruitless corner.

Kieran Offord gives Crusaders a fifth-minute lead with a diving header past Sean O'Neill.

After the visitors' early dominance, the game has settled into a rather lacklustre affair.

Both sides are struggling to string passes together, with the ball being played out of play all too frequently.

The initial intensity has fizzled out, leaving fans yearning for a moment of inspiration to reignite this contest. Can either team find that spark?

A fit Euan East for Linfield is like signing a new player. They certainly missed him when he was away.

Joel Cooper scores within two minutes for Linfield with a clinical left-foot finish.

Kyle McClean hangs a cross to the back post from the left hand side where Matthew Fitzpatrick meets the cross with his head, but he can't quite get any real purchase on it and Gareth Deane easily gathers.

That was Linfield's first meaningful attack since they went a goal ahead. Glenavon have certainly responded well since going a goal behind.

Here is how Ryan Mayse gave Portadown the lead against Loughgall with a fine first-time finish.
