Glenavon hit with late Linfield winner

GLENAVON suffered an agonising defeat at home to Linfield on Saturday, beaten by a late winner after a gripping second half.

It was tough on the home side who had produced a superb first half display and had the champions on the ropes leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Ciaran Doherty and player manager Gary Hamilton.

However, under pressure after a poor start to the defence of their league title, Linfield mounted a comeback to clinch a dramatic 3-2 win and leave the home fans wondering of what might have been.
