MURRAY AT THE DOUBLE FOR BANNSIDERS

Connor Murray twice found the net as Coleraine defeated leaders Linfield at Windsor Park.

The Bannsiders moved in front on 22 minutes after Murray exchanged passes with Kyle Spence before firing low past David Walsh into the bottom corner of the net.

Linfield might have levelled moments later when the unmarked Joel Cooper fired a left-foot shot from 15 yards over the bar while the same player also tested Rory Brown at the near post in the closing stages of the first half.

Coleraine came close to doubling their lead around the hour mark after Jamie Glackin sent a free-kick over to the back post but Spence's volley came back off the underside of the bar before being cleared.

But the visitors did grab their second midway through the second half when Murray had a go from the edge of the area with the ball deceiving keeper David Walsh on its way into the net.
