Linfield won the first Big Two derby of the season on Monday night, beating Glentoran 1-0 at a windswept Oval.
It moves the Blues to within a point of Danske Bank Premiership leaders Glenavon.
The winner was scored in the first half with Michael O'Connor finishing after a great run by Joel Cooper, who later went off injured - prompting boss David Healy to say the winger didn't get enough protection from the officials.
Healy was happy with the goal though...
Glens manager Ronnie McFall felt there was nothing between the teams...
.@OfficialBlues incredible record Played TEN - Goals Against TWO! Roy Carroll’s the main man on the pitch - he’s been there, done that with @NorthernIreland @ManUtd etc. But the boss is more used to scoring goals than stopping them. What’s the secret then NI legend David Healy? pic.twitter.com/fca0ThDMyh
