"PACEMAKER Glentoran staged a remarkable comeback to beat 10-men Coleraine 2-1 and get their title aspirations back on track on a dramatic night at the Oval. The visitors led through a Matthew Shevlin goal just after the hour but a Pat Hoban levelled with a penalty 10 minutes from the end before 'supersub' Jonathan Russell sealed the points in the 89th minute."
"The deadlock was finally broken just after the hour thanks to Matthew Shevlin's 12th goal of the season. Dean Jarvis did brilliantly to dispossess Ryan Cooney before whipping an inviting ball across the face of goal. Michael-John Kamara, in attempting to clear the danger, deflected the ball into the path of Shevlin, who had the simple task of nodding home into an empty net."
"Coleraine almost opened the scoring after just 50 seconds as Coleraine midfielder Jamie Glackin tried his luck from distance but Glentoran keeper Andrew Mills was equal to the task, diving low to his right to save. Minutes later, Liam Burt fired into the side netting from a Jordan Stewart cross while Joel Cooper did likewise at the other end shortly after as the game started in frenetic fashion."
