The Lurgan Blues have added to their squad by signing winger Josh Daniels from Derry City on a two-year deal.
Coleraine had defender David Ogilby sent off mid-way through the second half but still triumphed against the Crues thanks to first-half goals from Stephen O'Donnell and Eoin Bradley.
Manager Oran Kearney is full of praise for his players.
The Coleraine defence held firm as Crusaders pushed for an equaliser to avoid a rare home defeat - here's left-back Adam Mullan.
Crues manager Stephen Baxter accused his players of swanning around like prima donnas and serving up a load of rubbish.
Defender Howard Beverland admits it was a bitterly disappointing display against his former club.
Coleraine are third in the table on goal difference, just behind Linfield who beat Dungannon 4-0 at Stangmore Park.
