On Saturday, Glentoran recovered from a goal down to beat 10-man Dungannon Swifts 2-1 in the Irish Premiership game at Stangmore Park.

Matty Lusty was stretchered off after being fouled in the incident which led to Dungannon's penalty in the first half, Ben Gallagher converting from the spot to give Swifts the lead.

Marcus Kane levelled for the Glens in the second half, then Dungannon had Caolan Marron sent-off, before Junior netted a late winner for Warren Feeney's side.

Ahead of the much-anticipated Boxing Day fixtures, enjoy some of the best goals scored in the Irish Premiership so far this season.

Watch highlights as Cliftonville continued their fine form with a comfortable 2-0 win against Ballymena United at Solitude.

Odhran Casey opened the scoring for the Reds, before Ronan Hale doubled their advantage in the second period as they remain in third place in the Irish Premiership table.

The Sky Blues have failed to score in their last seven league fixtures.

Glentoran boss Warren Feeney says there will be "added spice' to today's game against Linfield after thumping the Premiership leaders earlier this month.

The Glens outclassed the Blues to run out 4-0 winners and Linfield will be out for revenge at Windsor Park.

"There will be added spice from the the victory we had at the Oval," said Feeney.

"All we can do is worry about ourselves. Form goes out the window and we'll be in for a good game."
