Irish Premiership: Carrick Rangers 1-2 Linfield (Result) - Blues go top
Cliftonville 0-1 Coleraine
Now then.
Stephen Lowry catches Ryan Curran with a high foot. That looked a bad one.
He's booked, but Tim McCann on co-commentary feels the Coleraine midfielder has "gotten away with one" there.
Agree or disagree?
Carrick Rangers 0-2 Linfield
Rangers keeper Aaron Hogg comes to his team's rescue again as he denies Chris Manzinga early in the second half.
The striker goes clear on goal and has time to pick his spot but Hogg closes the angle and the shot strikes his outstretched legs.
An excellent save although also a squandered opportunity for the Blues.

The visitors take a deserved lead in at the break with a Thomas Scully own goal followed by Chris McKee's backheel finish.
Carrick have offered little in attack and are on course for a fifth straight league defeat.
They face a massive task to stop the Blues leaving with a three points which would see them return to the Premiership summit on goal difference.

Oooh!
Rodney Brown cuts out Jonny Addis' slack pass and spots Luke McNicholas off his line.
He goes for it...but it's too high and goes over. Nice idea, though.

What a finish from Lyndon Kane.
Patrick Kelly pokes a tidy ball through to the surging right wing-back and he finishes it emphatically, rifling a right-footed drive into Luke McNicholas' far corner.
Cliftonville have looked the more comfortable team in the first 25 minutes but it's the Bannsiders who've shown a ruthless streak!

Carrick Rangers v Linfield: Thomas Scully own goal gives Blues early lead
Cliftonville 0-0 Coleraine
Jamie McDonagh fancies the one-on-one with Josh Carson. The winger cuts back inside on his left, leaving Carson in his wake, and pokes the ball to Kris Lowe, whose right-footed curler is gathered by Gareth Deane.
Lowe is still looking for his first Cliftonville goal.

Ryan Curran! The Reds top scorer tries the overhead kick from a Jamie McDonagh right-wing cross, but it goes just wide with Gareth Deane flat-footed.
Decent start by the hosts.

Carrick Rangers 0-1 Linfield
It's the perfect start for the champions as Thomas Scully's own goal puts the Blues in front in the fourth minute.
Jake Hastie charges through on the left and the unfortunate Scully diverts the low cross into his own net.
As it stands David Healy's men are going top!
