Coleraine have cut Crusaders’ lead at the top of the Danske Bank Premiership to just two points with seven games left to play.

It's after the Bannsiders won 2-0 in Ballymena on Saturday and the Crues crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Cliftonville.

Eoin Bradley and Darren McCauley were the Coleraine scorers at Warden Street. 

Cliftonville got off to a flying start at Solitude, grabbing three goals in the first 16 minutes, Joe Gormley striking twice with the other one scored by Rory Donnelly.
