  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:47 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 5-0 Cliftonville

    A triple change from Larne just short of the hour mark.

    Off go Sean Graham, Mark Randall and Lee Bonis, who are replaced by Micheal Glynn, Dylan Sloan and Paul O'Neill.

    Manager Tiernan Lynch is making full use of the players at his disposal with Bonis still walking the tightrope of being one yellow card away from a two-match suspension.

    Andy Ryan (54 mins)

    It's a hat-trick for Andy Ryan!

    The striker plays a lovely give-and-go with strike partner Lee Bonis - with a sumptuous backheel into his path - before firing past Odumosu.

    Almost a fifth for Larne as Mark Randall's shot appears to go through the hands of David Odumosu but the keeper gets enough of a touch to deflect it over the bar.

  6. KICK-OFFpublished at 18:33 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 4-0 Cliftonville

    The second half gets underway after a torrential downpour during the interval.

    Larne will be hoping that the goals continue to rain in as they aim to improve upon their goal difference, which is already vastly superior to title rivals Linfield.

    Ben Wilson has come on at the start of the second half in place of Stephen McGuinness.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:19 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 4-0 Cliftonville

    Pretty much everything has gone according to plan for Larne, who are heading back to the top of the table.

    Cliftonville assistant boss Gerard Lyttle, deputising for manager Jim Magilton, who is serving a touchline ban, has a big half-time team talk ahead of him to salvage some pride for his shell-shocked side.

    Andy Ryan (45+2 mins)

  12. INJURY TIMEpublished at 18:16 BST 13 April 2024

    The fourth official indicates a minimum of two minutes of additional time.

    The interval can't come soon enough for Cliftonville to regroup.

    GOAL - Larne 3-0 Cliftonvillepublished at 18:11 BST 13 April 2024

    Andy Ryan (41 mins)

    Larne profit from more hesitant defending to score a third.

    Odhran Casey initially makes a good challenge inside the penalty area but then dallies on the ball, losing possession to Mark Randall who slips the ball to Andy Ryan to fire into the corner of the net.

    Larne are looking very comfortable now against their 10-man opponents.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:08 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 2-0 Cliftonville

    Ro-Shaun Williams has been unable to shake off that earlier knock and he is replaced by Jaziel Orozco, who slots into an unfamiliar role in the back three.

    With skipper Cian Bolger already injured, it's another defensive headache that manager Tiernan Lynch could have done without.

  15. Postpublished at 18:05 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 2-0 Cliftonville

    Mark Randall drops a lovely angled cross into the Cliftonville penalty area which is met by the in-rushing Joe Thomson but the midfielder's header is off-target.

  17. RED CARDpublished at 17:59 BST 13 April 2024

    Larne 2-0 Cliftonville

    It goes from bad to worse for Cliftonville as Ronan Hale is sent off on 29 minutes.

    The striker, already on a caution for that early challenge on Larne keeper Rohan Ferguson, disputes a decision by referee Ian McNabb, who promptly shows him a second yellow card for dissent.

    Larne 2-0 Cliftonville

    There's a bit of concern here for Ro-Shaun Williams who over-stretches as he makes a clearance.

    The big defender looks as though he will be fit to carry on after treatment but another defensive injury is the last thing manager Tiernan Lynch would want.

  20. goal

    GOAL - Larne 2-0 Cliftonvillepublished at 17:49 BST 13 April 2024

    Aaron Donnelly (19 mins)

    The home side are two goals to the good!

    Sean Graham's corner is completely missed by goalkeeper David Odumosu but the danger looks to be cleared as the ball is headed out towards the edge of the penalty area.

    That is until the in-rushing Aaron Donnelly latches onto it and fires a thunderbolt into the net, via a slight deflection off Odhran Casey.
