  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:11 GMT 24 January 2023

    Glentoran 6-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Goal-scorers Niall McGinn and Shay McCartan have been substituted for the Glens. They receive a standing ovation as they leave the field from the delighted home fans.

    Both have been superb tonight.

    They're replaced by Ciaran O'Connor and Rory Donnelly.

  3. CLOSE!published at 21:11 GMT 24 January 2023

    Crusaders 2-0 Linfield

    Linfield should have pulled one back.

    Lovely work down the right hand side by Daniel Finlayson, who squares the ball to Ethan Devine. He gets a shot away, but it is rather tame and easy for Jonathan Tuffey to deal with.

  4. CLOSE!published at 21:09 GMT 24 January 2023

    Coleraine 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    Big chance for 10-man Coleraine as Dean Jarvis whips a ball in from the far touchline.

    Matthew Shevlin and Andrew Scott both are unable to get the vital touch and the ball goes out of play.

    Good response from the home side after having a man sent off.

    Glentoran 6-0 Dungannon Swifts

    It's six for the Glens, and in some style!

    Shay McCartan gets his second of the night as his free-kick flies over the wall and into the back of the net.

  6. TRIPLE SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:08 GMT 24 January 2023

    Crusaders 2-0 Linfield

    Declan Caddell comes on to replace Ross Clarke for the home side.

    Robbie McDaid and Ethan Devine are introduced with Matthew Clarke and Eetu Vertainen being withdrawn.

    Glentoran 5-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Terry Devlin, against his former club, strides into the box and shoots from close range, but it's a comfortable save for Declan Dunne.

    It's been a much quieter second half here.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:06 GMT 24 January 2023

    Crusaders 2-0 Linfield

    Cameron Palmer is cautioned by referee Lee Tavinder.

  10. CLOSE!published at 21:06 GMT 24 January 2023

    Glenavon 0-1 Cliftonville

    Matthew Fitzpatrick now tries his luck from distance, but his effort is well over the crossbar.

    Glenavon are working hard to get themselves back into this game, but like the first half the Lurgan Blues are missing that creative spark in the final third.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:05 GMT 24 January 2023

    Ballymena United 0-0 Newry City

    We're back underway at Ballymena where Newry have made a half-time change, with Philip Donnelly replacing John McGovern.

  12. RED CARDpublished at 21:05 GMT 24 January 2023

    Coleraine 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    Jamie Glackin is shown a red card for Coleraine following a tackle on edge of Carrick Rangers penalty area.

    The midfielder was running towards the Carrick penalty area when he appeared to lose possession of the ball.

    He stretched to regain the ball but appeared to make contact with a Carrick defender and referee Andrew Davey waited a few moments before showing Glackin the red card.

    It's safe to say the Coleraine fans don't agree with that one.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:03 GMT 24 January 2023

    Crusaders 2-0 Linfield

    Jude Winchester is shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Chris Shields.

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:00 GMT 24 January 2023

    Glenavon 0-1 Cliftonville

    Cliftonville with the first chance of the second half.

    Ronan Hale's over-hit cross finds Ronan Doherty, who lays the ball off to Rory Hale.

    His shot just inside the area is blocked by Sean Ward to give the north Belfast side a corner.

    Outside of Hale's effort, both sides have cancelled each other out in the opening 10 minutes of the second half.

    Crusaders 2-0 Linfield

    What an absolute peach of a goal from Philip Lowry!

    The Crusaders midfielder is in fine goal-scoring form this season and marks his 250th appearance for the club with his 14th league goal of the season.

    What a way to double the Crues lead!

  16. Postpublished at 20:59 GMT 24 January 2023

    Glentoran 5-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Aaron Wightman should have made it 6-0 here!

    The 18-year-old connects with a lovely pass from Jay Donnelly, but Dunne's stretching save denies the youngster his first goal of the season.

    Crusaders 1-0 Linfield

    Great work from Jude Winchester, who wriggles away from Cameron Palmer before letting fly with a wonderful strike from 30-yards.

    His effort is comfortably dealt with by Chris Johns in the end.

    Linfield already showing more threat and promise in the second half than they did in the first.
