Glentoran manager Declan Devine praised his players after the 2-1 comeback victory over leaders Coleraine at the Oval.

Matthew Shevlin put the visitors in front but Coleraine lost Dylan Boyle to a red card before late goals from Pat Hoban and Jonathan Russell clinched a dramatic win.

It also brought a five-match winless run in the league to an end as the Glens moved eight points behind the Bannsiders and Larne.

"It was a bit of a crazy game - it was a battle and we're obviously delighted to end that run of results," said Devine.

"It shows that when when we are at our best we are more than a match for anyone.

"No-one's getting carried away. It's a good win but I actually though we played better last week and lost.

"But the big plus for me is that it's credit to the players - it's so much down to them and going a goal behind it's very easy to buckle.

"The fans also deserved that - the noise they made and the appreciation they have given to the players."
